This is a great image! I love the color tones you've worked it up with. Nice composition, the eyes follow the train along quite naturally. Well done!

Challenge link: OK, but this is really quite hi-tech in my view

Image critique: nice focus, composition - but editing marks visible in sky area and highlights are blown

Out-of-challenge appeal: minimal, but it's a nice train

A very nice image, however, I question if so much iron emplied makes this a low tech. Regardless your image is stunning. 7

Very nice capture of a pefect subject. Very nice definition of the body of the locomotive -- rivits, pipes and all. It would be better if the sky wasn't blown out, IMO. A friend of mine owns a working antique steam locomotive. I have ridden in the cab on the foot plate. Fascinating experience I hope you can enjoy if you haven't already. Among my top picks.

I love this one, the only thing is the pink highlights, but that may be my monitor. 7
