Hi Jen. Since I live close the Lancaster, PA I have seen a number of these steam engines in the Railroad Museum there, though I have never seen this one. This has captured the feel and size of the engine. I also like the fact that you captured the Engineer and the context framing the engine. I, at least for my part, do not have a problem with the poles and the signs as they are part of the story and part of the overall story of the American Railroads.
What I would love to see, were it possible, would be this engine pulling a line of cars along an open area with the smoke trailing behind it.
My suggestion - depending on your original, would be to include the wheels as they are also a big part of what made those engines. It does make it a challenge to get the whole image, but to my eye is worth the effort.
Thanks very much for sharing it with us Jen. |

I really like this image Albert. I guess I am the odd man out in this case as I tend to prefer the color version with perhaps a little more contrast and some reduction in the haze.
Still the black and white version does work well. The detail in the forested slopes and the valley moving into the distance drawing my eyes to the very charactered clouds in the sky. I also like the reflection in the lake in the foreground.
I read your response to Lance - I do not see either the noise or the dark spot.
I do like the image and I would gladly hang either version on a wall in one of my rooms - but I would prefer the color version with work to make the colors a little richer and more vibrant - not much, but just a little extra.
Thanks very much for sharing this image with us Albert. |

Kristi - a great job of finding an image in an image. To my eye you worked it very well to create the version you sent for us. The correction of perspective worked well. I, at least for my own part, like the small clocks as it helps me to see the entire image and not only the watches - a sense of context if you will.
I also like the blue tinge to the image - again the sense of the cold that it conveys to me is good. That, to me, is a technique you have used to very good effect.
Thank you for sharing this image with us.

Hi Adrian. This is, to my eye, a powerful portrait that tells me a story of age, wisdom, work, a hard life, and the passing of time and the effects of all of them on our faces. I also like the expression that seems a little bit like he or she is thinking of something that causes them some happiness.
My only regret is that we cannot see more of his or her eyes. Perhaps some work to brighten what we can see of their eyes …?
I will be sorry to see you go. I have enjoyed your images. Safe travels and god speed my friend. Perhaps some day we can meet somewhere - who knows. |

Thank you Albert. I did not think of correcting the perspective. I will go back and revisit the image - I may be able to make that work. |
