No. 7 for me. I love the dramatic skyline and the way you've used the rock as forground.

I wasn't looking up or down a hill although the line through Durham is on a slight gradient southwards. I was standing on the station platform. Any apparent softness on the front of the freight train is probably due to the speed it was travelling. The staircase effect on the left is caused by the roofs of terraced houses, they are on a steep hill next to Durham Viaduct. The trains are leaning because of the super-elevation of the track on the curve off the viaduct.

As Churchill once nearly said: 'Split infinitives are something up with which I will not put.'

Happy to take orders for the UK - you'll need to get me a ticket first though!

They'd never let you on the plane with your chainsaw.

Modified window colour, hope you dont mind i-Berg but I had a slight tinker with contrast and saturation in your church window. I know how difficult it is dealing with verticals when you shoot church windows. Most times the camera is pointing upwards and as Paul says if you start to mess with the perspective in PS you end up distorting the whole image.

I like getting the freight through, was it going fast as to me it looks like it's thundering through that snow!
I reckon the freight train was doing 50-60mph. I really wanted one of the high speed trains wizzing past at about 90mph (that's the limit at Durham) so I could get a real swirl of blown snow, but it didn't happen while I was there. I shall try again.

No noise Ken, just a deathly hush as the snow fell. Thanks for the comment Ken and John.

OK Alan, I've toned down the tail lamps.

I really liked the colour in the sky of the first version. The crops and modifications have lost the subtle tones.

Lovely set all round. The black and white and colour versions of #1 seem to work equally well for me. That duck thingy really stands out against the ice.
