And served with hot roast beef, veg and lashings of rich gravy.

The questionable verticals aside, I think this is a very good image. I love the colours in the old building but wonder why you desaturated the sky. That doesn't seem neccessary to me.
The scene looks like some old Scottish buildings I've photographed in The East Neuk of Fife and in Culross.

Dr. Mhuni: The EXIF for this picture should say the camera was a K10, the lens DA*50-135mm at 135mm and F8. ISO was 400 and shutter speed 1/400th. Exposure was 1/3rd stop under. The train was at least half a mile away, maybe nearer a mile, so the crop was quite severe.

If you want to see Lilly's pictures that were selected for the RPS exhibition go into her website. I found two of the three there under Awards, Happy Hour, which was commended, and Do I Have To?, which was part of her LRPS panel.

Just got in from the pub after a night at Durham Photographic Society were we viewed the Royal Photographic Society's projected images exhibition. Delighted to report that among the stunning photos on show were three from our very own Lilly - and one of them was highly commended.

Well that's certainly got opinion divided; good. I agree with Mike, the heat haze needs to be more pronounced but I disagree with him about the lights being distracting. The two sets of red lights, one single red and a single green are what attracted me compositionally. I quite liked the splash of yellow on the train. Unlike Tim I wanted the bunched up perspective of the overhead wires and didn't find it messy.
Thanks everyone for the comments.

Since Graham launched this topic there have been more than 1,600 visits to this thread. With such big interest its worth pencilling in the event again for next April - I'm not sure what the dates are but you can Google them. Maybe next year a lot more Pentaxians will turn up. At the last meet a few weeks ago there was only Impotentspider (Alan), Technoblub (Graham), GReynolds (Gareth), Barrie Forbes and me who got together.
