A Rural "Bokeh"
Train tracks are just too much fun for bokeh and depth of field experiments. This was taken looking towards the grain silos in Kersey, Colorado.

great dof and vanishing point

Beautiful perspective here! Like the b&w version. Simply show the line more strong in some point.
Have a great day, my friend!

Love this one and prefer the B/W this angle makes it look a bit dangerous and the tracks seams like the just vanish in that cool background.
