It doesn't get any better than this -- a beautiful, extremely clean shot! *10* -balynch

Love the lines and the lighting on this one. The tint is a good choice -- makes me think of expressions like the golden age. The focus is defintely on the wheels and the driving arm, without totally separating it from the rest of the train. Nice and sharp. If I had to pick a flaw, it would be those little white specs in the LL. *grin* I'm just teasing.

you've managed to capture a mythic quality with your lighting, angle and perspective. the sepia adds in this case. great dof.

Someday when I grow up I want to pull the levers and be the driver of a train.

I like the coloring you used on this. "Classic" compositional lines...

Very cool. I love the coloring and the framing - it's so sharp! I love it. Will the real JSetzler please stand up? If I'm wrong I'll stop guessing, but I think I got it this time :)) great job. 10 cthenk

This may not be the most exciting shot this week, but it is very well executed and technically sound. I really like the subtle color.

I really like this... the lighting is good, and the narrow color range makes it easy on the eyes

10. perfect composition, framing, lighting.

I just love trains. Fine detail and contrast. I would have framed it more to the right to include more of the object in the top right corner. It would have helped balance the large black area in the top left.

Really nice black and white. It's a bit dark in the upper left corner, but all in all, a very nice shot. 9 Swash

I like the angle and the sepia tone. The contrast is nice and it's kind of abstract. 8 - KDJohnson

Perfect the DOF and lighting is supurb.

I am not sure I like the tint, and the exposure seems a little dark, with too much highlight on the wheels, but good composition and idea - 7 Zeiss

I could see this on the cover of an engineering mag. Very nice manly photo and perfect subject for b&w. 9 Lisa

Very nice image, focus and color..Great Job!
Post actions
Great colour, great composition.
Post actions
like the sepia/ brown tint. Good use of light on the metal wheels, a strong 'train' image
Post actions
Great light, a worthy a living room wall.
Post actions
Great photo. The perspective makes it!
Post actions
Don't know much about the rule of 3rds, but I dont think this picture is a prime example....
Post actions
very nicely done. great photo.
Post actions
I'll be honest, this is a very plainjane photo, but I LOVE steam trains, so I was forced to rate it high ;)
Post actions
Nice. I like the metallic color and the repeating patterns of the wheels. Good choice of sepia (?) as it accentuates the metal tones by making them seem coppery or goldish...might be a bit busy at the upper right.
Post actions
This is by far my favorite picture from this weeks competition. The perspective gives a real sense of the power, and the color seals the deal. Great job!

Studying this is a how-to lesson in itself. I enjoy the opportunity to learn from some of the best.

I'm not a train fan but I know a good photo when I see one. Nice tones, good composition. Kee

Impressively large depth of field for a close up shot.
Post actions
Ooo! Nice clean shot, though I feel I am missing some detail in the deep shadows. Duotone works well with this antique subject, one of my top picks.
Post actions
Good effort, very good shot!
Post actions
Very dramatic photo. Good control of light.
Post actions
Nice and crisp.... The duotone is great for this shot...
