Hezká fotka. Už není moc 363 v "nenajbrtlém" nátěru.

Photos anciennes are taken with less strict rules than photos du today, 'cause of theirs rarite. Should this be todays photo, it will not be aprovee.

I can't see why.
We have contemporary photos with given standards and we discuss with authors on daily basis. Compositions, lighting, editing, colours. Using modern technology and contemporary composition standards.
And then there are historical photos, especially before year say 2005, scanned from film, dia or developed images.

If you take a poor composition today, we will tell you to try harder, because you can. Now you can learn a lot, either from talking to more experienced photographers, or simply by looking at photos now.

But 25 years ago? There was no power of shared knowledge, made much easier through the internet. Given the amount and qualities of available photos from that era, the one we are discussing right now is actually above average.
In today's standards it would be below average, but today it is much easier to reach the standard, if you want to.
Some do, some don't.
And instead of trying to improve their skills, some authors of discarded photos will rather come and bash the screeners' photos. Don't feel unique, there are many like you who do that.

No pink glasses, just over ten years of experience behind the screening computer, having seen well over one hundred thousand photos ranging from simply marvellous to bloody awful, and seeing the authors personalities, attitudes and approaches to making things better, basically on the same scale, ie. from intelligent and quick learning to bloody moronic.
That's all.

Když si vzpomenu, jak mi tenkrát pily krev tyhle monotóní neforemné krabice (zelené i modré), vytěsňující v čele vlaků elegantní zaoblenou odporovou klasiku :-)))

@Chary: Finally, put your pink red glasses off. You should also forget your prejudices.

I doubt any screener would publish this photo if taken today. Have you even tried to notice that the photo is 25 years old, taken under much different standards for composition that we can afford today? Shooting this composition those days was normal, but today it would be considered as unnecessarily poorly composed.
Your photos are of today, in today standards, and poorly composed.
That is the difference. If you had a photo of this style, but 25 years old showing a 25 year old history, no one would say a word and it would be published, for this very reason. But you keep making unnecessary composition errors today, and that is the difference.

@Jakub Gregor: You are right, this locomotive with these cars is always worth a photo. But those who criticize others should apply the same criteria and standards to themselves.

Jak pro oko lahodné modré eso se žlutým pruhem a zelené vozy se šedou střechou viděti!!!

Miloši:
Až k tunelům nebylo,ale jinak na hlaváku byly ty nástupiště hodně dlouhé.Nejdelší byla dvojka a to u koleje č.1 (vzdálenější od budovy)- 605 metrů, u koleje č.7 (bližší budově)- 570 metrů.
Omezujícím faktorem pro délku vlaku byla ale návěstidla.Na severním zhlaví bylo u 1.k. 81 m před koncem a 7.k. 180 m před koncem hrany.Na jižním zhlaví u 1.koleje 21 m před koncem nástupiště,naopak u 7.koleje až 27 m za koncem,takže tu hranu mohli využít celou,ovšem to by ten vlak musel mít 23 vozů,což bylo i za komunistů za hranou reality.
Jinak si špatně nestály ani další peróny. Třetí - délka 405 m, a čtvrtý perón - 484 m. Polohu návěstidel se mi už zkoumat nechce.Třeba příště.

Tommy: One should rather perceive the historical aspect of the picture than the technical and compositonal one. I am sure that an ordinary photo of this kind, shot one week ago and without any "added value", would not be published in this gallery.
