Very atmospheric and well suited to mono. Three different exhausts from the cylinder cocks, chimney & safety valves!

Good use of telephoto and the curved approach to achieve this composition David. I always like how the red buffer-beams stand out in this type of weather/lighting to relieve the mono feel.

I like the composition, with the chute to the fore and the distinctive lighting.

A powerful capture. I particularly like the composition in which you have taken account of the drift of the steam.

Thanks for showing us the mono, Andrew. Some of the detail in the shot is pretty sharp whereas I think I was re-imagining your picture as less sharp and probably a bit grainy. I possibly fall into the cliche/trap of picturing industrial settings in mono (It's Grim Oop North and all that). Is that an added effect on the clouds at the top of the building?

Very nice mono, steam and capture of the human element.

An atmospheric treatment, but would like to see a mono too. Is it something innately Sheffield about this picture that drew us 3 in to comment (I grew up there)?

A powerful capture, very evocative. Do you think it would lend itself to mono too, David?

A pleasing mono portrait. I am curious about the framing though- could have been shot through the letterbox :)

Good viewpoint and freezing of the action. Could be enhanced by a wider aperture to throw the background out of focus.
