Who has put does boxes in the middle of the railroad ?

The same person who's driving that truck and not wanting to be caught by the train.
The night mod is a bit dark, and it is interesting to see those two poles glowing, though there does seem to be some detail in the pic. I will cast my vote for Nardo.
TTC: 7
Nardo: 5

Well it rarely happens, but this time I have to vote against Nardo's rail. I'm not one that normally likes the darker night mod, but this pic still shows plenty of detail and I love that building. TTC this time.

TTC: 8
Nardo: 5

[Ennedi]

My picture in the HoF?   Thank you all!

@emilin:

Ooooohhh... tough one. Very, very close call, but the slight bit of hill shown in ennedi's pic does it for me (if I might add a tad of critisism too: both of pics would look better with less photoediting, in this case).

Yes, you are right Emil! Personally I think it is sometimes good to improve a picture very little (for example increase the contrast) because of lacking some quality during saving the screenshot. Sometimes I use filters/effects to edit the picture, but my goal is not to alter it, but rather to emphasize some existing details and textures or to create a specific atmosphere. I try to do it as subtle as possible, but I'm still a newbie in photoshopping  
Of course we can use more radical effects to make an altered/artistic image, but it is completely another story.
Many of you like the most "natural" ingame pictures, I understand and appreciate it. Some time ago I showed in my MD unedited and edited pictures in separate places to make things clear, I think I will return to this habit  
I think we can show both altered and natural pictures in this Competition, they simply will receive votes from different people.  

@Bernhard (Nardo69):

At least you prevented me from spamming the HoF with railway pics ...      

Never too much trains, my friend, and yours are one of the best and they should be represented in the Hof!  

Now I have a big problem:

TTC - great night shot of Cobb's mediterranean villas!   But the surrounding is a bit too dark, I know it's not your choice but the Gizmo's mod feature. Gizmo's and Maxis night mods are good for different things  
XoX - interesting composition and presentation, you give my vote this time!   (although maybe it would be good to make this picture a little bit softer and less saturated  )

XoX - 3
