Your description of the image is apt David - it represents those things you nominate very well. The engine lends itself to that contrasty approach too, IMO.

Thanks for your comments. Appreciated. Aliengrove hits the nail on the head and I totally agree with him. That was the picture I would have liked but this loco was quite a distance away and I shot it at 135mm then cropped it to get in closer. If cropped any more the picture quality would suffer even more.

A contrast in black and white, from the pure white of escaping steam to the black areas of the locomotive Duke of Gloucester. Shot at Carlisle on Saturday July 3. C+C welcome.
