Leica M9 + 18mm Zeiss Distagon M f1:4.0. ISO 400, 1/250 at f1:8.0. PP in LR / Nik SilverFX Pro 2.
 
Yes I like the composition a lot, The three things that are immediate are the lamp post track and tree. Make it four, the white building :)
 
Like the composition and tones as well. The composition definitely looks as more than guessing through the finder using your 18 mm lens;).
 
Thanks, Detlef. I am very good a guessing with that lens. I only took one shot and I didn't change the framing but I did correct distortion in PS to get more parallel sleepers etc, which lost a bit from the top and RH side. Here's the original.

Yes, I found the angle distracting and it kept leading my eye to the right. The final result was a compromise between as parallel as possible and keeping the horizon and building horizontal / perpendicular.

What Detlef is referring to is that you can only see about 30% of the view of the lens in the viewfinder and you need to guess the composition. In this case I managed first time! :)

That's 'cos it's one of them crappy Zeiss lenses, Rob.

Funnily enough it did, Paul. Passed straight through me though. How odd. Hmm, thinking about it, how did I get in here, I don't remember opening that door! :eek:

That's a bit uncanny, what you said could have come straight of a book I am reading at the moment.....Have you been in my house again while I'm at work?
