The juxtaposition of Nash with the 20th century high rise tower is tremendous.

Cliff: I've just uploaded this and the previous one of The Duke to PPG to see what happens.
Barrie: Art Deco is precisely what this is. The railways went through an Art Deco period of industrial design in the 1930s.

Thanks for the input folks. I'm not a fan of excessively manipulated pictures but I felt this actually improved the original. I just wondered what other people would think.
Jon: I may well try this treatment again in its own right and not as a remedy, just as you suggest.
Smeggy: It was the steam over the rear driving wheels that I thought was confusing rather than the pipework beneath the cab and there wasn't much i could do about that.
Barrie: Terrible pun.

You've controlled the light very well in the York Minster interior shots, particularly in #2 where you've not blown the window highlights yet managed to keep fine detail in the ceiling.

The second mono shot is a very fine piece of mono conversion but when the flower has such glorious colour as demonstrated in #1 I wonder why you bothered with black and white.

#2 for me too, it has a real sense of drama and artistry. I've never done IR but I always like to see classy shots done like this. #3 is also very attractive, it looks almost like a winter scene.
The tilt is fine but if done too often it could become a bit iritating.

Duke of Gloucester at Newcastle

The light appeared good but it was a watery bright sun and the well polished paint of this massive steam loco, Duke of Gloucester at Newcastle, was giving off strange reflections. The colour photos were poor so I decided on some drastic treament by converting it to mono and then posterizing it.

What an amazing set of pictures. This is street photography at its best, every picture tells a story.
