I think a tighter crop, loose the sky to the thing? on the top of the signal, and a small bit of the bottom.

I do like the shot though.

Its a fine picture of the Duchess in its new black livery. I agree with Weldingblues though about the crop.

It might work if you add some contrast between the smoke and the sky... maybe if you make the sky blue it would be perfect but that's a lot of work.

Sorry to resurrect a 5 day old post but I've been busy - poorly wife, so have not had time to say thank you for the suggestions and comments.

Colin, David and Roy, is this crop better?

and Stefan my pping skills are nowhere near sufficient to do what you suggest so I increased the contrast overall. Is this better

Hope people aren't bored.

Cheers

The first of your revised versions is excellent. The crop creates a much more satisfying picture.
