 This is an old, old train (over 100 years old)that is in the very early stages of being completely restored. I have the lucky assignment of photographing the progress of the restoration. It's one of those "I can't believe they PAY me to do this" type of assignments :)

It's not at a very "pretty" stage right now, so I'm not sure how this will be received, but I love it. . .so I hope you guys do too.

Where can I get a job like yours... taking photos of the transformations of old "stuff"? Very nice shot.

I like the photo, but I'm a little confused as to where I should be looking. Is the train or the welder the subject? Overall, great photo.

Very nice, the choice of colour is very well done. Did you try in B&W? Maybe you kept the colour because of the worker. I understand. Good choice. 9

This is interesting. The many objects to focus on are interesting to me this time. This is a photo of things in progress which is interesting.

What an incredible capture for this challenge. I am blown away by the warm colors,the range of DOF, and clairity- all technically flawless. Asthetically it is very pleasing. The welder working on this old train makes me wonder about the train's history. I think I can... I think I can...I think I can... give this photo a 10

Seems like the guy welding there has got a BIG job ahead of him. I love the colour. Composition is also good.

There are lots of details of many objects in this photo which causes you to study the photo more deeply. The windows, ladder, welder. Great contrast and hues. Then you start thinking about where this broken train has been in it's working lifetime.
