Black 5 45337 on Brooksbottoms Viaduct

Photo Information

I tried this shot 24 hours before but the steam/smoke cast a shadow over the loco and carriages so I went back on 24th. I wanted to show the river partially frozen over, something which hasn't happened for many years and certainly not since the railway re-opened. I exposed for the sun hoping that the white snow would reflect enough light around in the shadow areas

Well Stephen, your efforts and determination have been rewarded with a strong composition, excellent definition and tonal range. - well taken.

Not everything in life is Black & White, If only it were!
