FANTASTIC BORDER AND FINISHING TECHNIQUE. IT REALLY TAKES A NORMAL IMAGE AND MAKES IT VERY INTERESTING AND HIGHLY APPEALING. GREAT JOB.

Nice shot. Initially I really liked what you did with the boarder, but then realized my focus was drawn to the smoke going out of the picture instead of to the engine. I'm not sure that was your intention.

I like the composition and the framing on your subject. You captured the steam engine from an angle that makes it appear that it is approaching the viewer - which always adds visual interest. But you carried the illusion one step further. The steam train's smoke rises out of the frame giving the photo an overall illusion that the train is about to chug right out of the frame and into our living rooms. I also how the frame is outlined by a thin red border that not only pops off the black border but it also compliments the red on the steam engine.

I like what you ahve done with the border although it is perhaps too big. focus could bae a bit sharper and that bright cloud a the top could maybe be burned, but overall good job. 7

Normally I'm not a great fan of frames, but in this case I think it really works. Colours are great too. Well done 8

Very nice post editing. Love how the steam comes up over the border.
