Great rustic tones. My eyes are immediately drawn to the chain on the right.

The hardware on trains is so rugged and massive that they are imposing in any picture. The chain with its peeling paint adds an eye-catching dimension. Fine black and white quality.

I've always like the look of pics like these. Strong, gritty, heavy on the contrast. Nice job! :)

Love the textures and the whole composition. Trains offer so much good grungy stuff to photograph.

Special black and white, puts snow chains in full shot produced, the transformation of job into object, I likes this presentation which opens to thoughts on the existence of the object.

That's just awesome. Do you think the black and white image is better than the color image? I love it in black and white.

@Alvis...Thanks...The color version was pretty boring, low contrast with a lot of white-ish and muted tones due to it being really caked with dust and grime. Even the rusty parts were not very rust colored. When I shot this I knew I would make it black and white. It was more about textures than color for me.
