Today’s Tracking the Light displays two images exposed about a year apart from the same overhead bridge near Orbisonia, Pennsylvania.
In both instances I’m photographing the first train of the morning working upgrade away from Orbisonia station using a telephoto lens.
Although the location and time of year, and overall scene are similar, I’ve produced two different images, owing to slight differences in my angle and the lighting, as well as the position of the locomotive and its exhaust smoke. In addition I was using different camara-lens combinations.
Subtle changes can result in significantly different photos.
I have my favorite. Which do you like better?
Tracking the Light posts new material every morning.

Since you asked, I like #1 better. The composition is more balanced. You can see more of the train, and the train is more a part of an over-all scene.
No contest for me, the top photo is the better.
