    Comment by 'ahockley' in media 'UP 5131 in Cajon'

    Agreed a bit too much foreground, and I'd like to see a little more room in front of the engine before the edge of the frame.

    Comment by 'ahockley' in media 'BNSF 8721 (GP60)'

    Nice to see a GP60 leading, but the photo is quite blurry, nose of the loco is too close to the right side of the frame, and I'd prefer the crossing signal was either entirely in the frame, or cropped out.
