I like it Alan, lovely colour. I also love the transparent wings on the wee beastie. David

I think this is a wonderful atmospheric shot with lots of exhaust from the engines and the train curving over the top of the incline.

Nice one Peter. It seems to suit black and white very well. I did a fantastic cycling tour of North Wales when I was a teenager and it rained most of the time. But what a great adventure. David

Good idea for a picture. I wonder if it needed the treatment you gave the background, it might work better as a straight shot. I like the black and white conversion. David

I think you already realise Peter that the bright lighting has burned out the highlights, particularly along the top of the train. Did you shoot in RAW? Its easier to pull, back blown highlghts and do corrections in Photoshop if you did.

You would get a bad back if you did try this. Another lovely colour macro shot from Northumberland. David
