the flickr version seems to have more powerful postwork on the bridge, and none on the trainyard---something you do extremely well (ie, postworking one section while leaving the rest alone). I like it and this equally much. In this, you've postworked across-the-board, and the bridge is gentler than the flickr, maybe a bit of softening, glow and small amount of edge work. The whole picture is that way, and it makes a 'picture book' image, that is, something from a book of tales or fairy tales. I really like the gentle softening, and your glow on the brightest hues. And your desaturation makes it overcast, almost like a shot out from Dickens (minus the modern stuff).

Finally, your pov---in both shots---is quirky and wonderful: The view most wouldn't capture. Ie, you captured the background through a heavy "arch", where the heaviest element is on top rather than bottom. And the stuff in that yard is great (the discards in the bottom portion---I don't even know what those are!) Full zoom, btw, stretched through my floor and it's filled with little sooty creatures/pock marks; and mid zoom (ie, what fits into the browser window) is gentler, but still 'andrea-ized'. I love both. Love what you did to this poor station. Its family is saying "don't ever let her photograph you again..." I love it.

Very atmospheric. A bleak somewhat dystopian feel to this possibly because of the overcast sky. And framed by a dirty and slightly rusted metal triangle completes the picture perfectly.
