Engine Driver

K10 with 70-300 Tamron
Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway
The tank engine "Whitehead" was shunting its one coach train. I took the picture leaning out of a window: there are no lengths I won't go to for the sake of my art!

A good environmental portrait. The curves of the track and the smoke / steam show the conditions.
Friendly Regards

Well composed nice shot. The conversion and the DOF is nice, too.

Just be careful, Andrew. Art doesn't worth a life! Very good environmental portrait! I like the curving rails behind most. I also like the impression he has.

You seem to have found the most suitable frame for mono shots, it enhances the effect of the photo so well.

Great shot. The lines, the curves and the man all blend into a good picture.
