Voting will last 4 days. You may vote for multiple entries. To do this, you must select all entries for which you wish to vote at once, and then click the submit button. Competition not your thing?

**Rule addition/clarification** I going to append a new rule that will clarify a topic that was discussed recently. That is, the focal point of an entry must be of a physical model that is before the photographer at the time of photograph. While Photoshop and image alteration is perfectly acceptable, the focal point must remain that of the model. And now, back to the contest!
In this shot, we see a motorist waiting patiently at a crossing, as a boxcar is shoved into place at the Water Street freight depot. It's quite a convincing layout scene... Or is it? See the ugly truth here: http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showpost.php?p=674949&postcount=120
Hey, you we2-policeman threw down the gauntlet... wink: I purposely focused on the dock workers in the background, hoping that the blurry foreground would hide the fact that the crossbuck is nothing more than two blank strips of cardstock. The one time that I wished for a cheap plastic crossing sign, and I don't have one.
