Trains - second attempt

A better vantage point by taking the shot from the road rather than at water level and better light so fuller colour on the train itself.
Reflected trains

I had an idea for a competition entry about landscape and means of transport; every night I drive past the millpond and see trains reflected in the water so I had a go at taking these one weekend evening. The problem is that big green fence all the way across and I am not going to be able to lose that while keeping the water.

I went to the mill pond behind the Industrial Hamlet to get some images of the trains reflecting in the water. The sky clouded over but I did get some good shots of the old mill buildings while there was some sun for a strong reflection. Out of these I constructed an HDR using Photomatix; this looks like a stereotypical HDR image with the colours looking artificial. This was taken with a Sony A100 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens.
Here is one of the source images for comparison.
