This is the end of my train series, thank you all so much for your wonderful comments, I appreciate every single one :)
This is for a very special little boy called Caleb, (Tyan's son) who loves trains, especially Thomas The Tank Engine. Hope you like it Caleb :)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, and a big thank you to everyone for the tips, advice and encouragement on my forthcoming portrait shoot, bless you all. Will be back on Monday.
Any tips or constructive criticism are welcome :)
I really appreciate all your comments, thank you so much. I'm only sorry I've not got time to respond. I do read all the comments and will try to answer any questions you have about my posts :)
Excellent shot.

Everything we associate with railway transportation is there: the engine (in this case a steam one), the rails, the platforms. Very well composed and very striking, consequently. I only have one but as a viewer. There is two much white on top of the image. If a bit cropped it may improve. But I repeat, as a viewer, because you are the photographer.

Amazing capture Mary. It seems so "scale" to my American eyes, our trains are so much larger and noisier. Yet, somehow it seems more in proportion to the engineer, to the tracks and environment it is in, etc. I like trains and wish our country would move back to days when the rails and not the highways, were kings of transportation. Thanks for this series.

A real feast for the eyes, MaryB ... so much brilliant color ... strong contrasts ... interesting shapes ... gentle curves and strong lines ... a real feast! And the plume is the cherry on top!

19 Apr 2008 1:17am
Like this one Mary, although I think it'd be better tighter on the train and the guy in it, so it looks like they're gonna steam right out of the frame!
19 Apr 2008 12:39pm
A very nice shot - and I like the wonderful colors!
19 Apr 2008 6:33pm
