I was quite pleased with the second image in terms of layout. I saw an image from someone else, either on here or on another photo forum, and the layout is very heavily based on that. Once you know the position it was taken from, though, it's such a natural spot to take a photo from. Unless you want to catch the train you're photographing, that is, in which case it's not so good.
I can't quite put in words what I mean about the difference in image quality, if anyone can see it and offer some advice that would be most appreciated. I'm using a Kx with a Sigma 18-200 zoom, and a polarising filter. I do a bit of work in a very old version of Photoshop, then reduce to 1024 width and upload to Flickr to host. I was doing stuff in Raw Therapee, but found it quite complex so I dropped it for these. The end results still had the same issues though.
Camera - Pentax Kx, 18-55 kit lens, 18-200 Sigma, 50-500 Sigma, 500mm Tamron mirror
