C&C welcome,

Hi Don! I think I prefer the first because it's more abstract. The crossing lines are pretty awesome, as is the light hitting the sticks themselves. Just awesome light all-around :thumb

I agree. Prefer the first - really eyecatching. :clap

Wonder if the second one would look better if the picture was cropped to exclude the hill in the background. Would there be more impact if the tracks led straight off the edge of the picture?

The cropped version leads my eyes to making laps all over the photo and I like it :thumb

I LOVE the cropped version of the second. It doesn't even look like the same photo!
