Engineering a train!

Comment by Artifacts:
Overall this is a well composed image. It is about the best angle you could get for the lighting conditions. This image has great potential.
The lighting angle still leaves some shadows on the left side of the train and engineer's face but some highlighting can correct that. You might consider widening the crop to include the sign totally withing the frame. Also consider additional highlighting to add interest to the surrounding vegetation.
Some folks will have trouble connecting this to the challenge topic, but not me. Out in the desert I was engineering a different kind of train and am glad I made it back to the station all in one piece. :) - Steve

Nice composition and a good photo, but I instantly found myself searching for Steve Davidson's likeness in the frame. To me, the challenge was intended to convey the search for or discovery of stdavidson. Like I said - good shot, but it could have met the challenge a little better in my opinion.

Nice capture! I would have liked the composition to put the caterpillar somewhere off-center, but the rich colors and sharpness are very good! Nice image - good luck!
