The blur and flare make it look like a shot through a train window.  I particularly like the drunken telegraph pole.  I agree that the overall impression is very artistic

A bit of Photoshopping to remove the door(?) with it's frame and the picture(?) on the far wall would also improve the artistic appearance.

Great photo. Apart from the artistic effect, the slightly blurry and "random" feel also makes it look realistic to me. Sometimes our layout photos end up looking too "posed" I think - unlike eg the car partly hidden behind the blurry sign here, which really adds to the realism, I think.

I thank you guys for the comments and it's good to know

that I'm not alone in the images that catch my attention.

Even the leaning telegraph pole and fence posts add

something.

 

It's just a little 6' x 3' oval with passing loop behind a back

screen. Something to play with and run in my smaller tank

locos, also where I try odd ideas ..........

I'm glad Mikkel mentioned the car - it's an important aspect of the photo.  So often, our models look so 'posed' (the infamous bus on an over-bridge).

 

My layout is also just a 6'x3' oval but gives me a lot of pleasure, setting up little 'vignettes' for photography.  Perhaps you might like to try the 'Dynamic Auto Painter' software (no connection, just a user) which I've shown in my blog.

I exhibited a layout in the Ikon gallery a few years ago for 3 months. Does that count?

Well, Phil Parker - You are Art ...... A nice little comment you received.

Does it count ? - You bet !!

 

MikeOxon, Please to see I'm not the only one who gets as much enjoyment 

from a 6 x 3 as anything else. A big layout can soon become a nightmare as

I know from experience.
