very nice work with the selective desat. The composition is good, but you might try standing on the tracks next time until the engineer is laying heavy on the horn. j/k
Nice use of leading lines to draw the eye into the shot. I'm not a huge fan of selective desaturations, though this one is well done, but I'm obviously very much in the minority here.
I like that you left the train in color were everything else is black and white. not what I picture austrailia to look like I almost reminds me of my home town in Idaho USA.
Desat brought me right to your subject. Very nice image and flow with the tracks! May be my monitor, but upper corners look like curves got out of control there and caused some banding of greyscale.
Great shot, love the colour on the train, makes it pop out. I actually live down the road from the place where Stevenson's Rocket was built and run (worlds first steam engine). The Rainhill to Liverpool line was one of the first railway lines..........I'm not always such a swot.....honest!
hi amy ... i love selective desat and it works well in this image ... also good composition ... this scene looks like where i was today, trying to find something for the 30 day where i live challenge .. got a pic of a 2 carriage train but i was in portrait so missed most of it .. i didnt know it was coming till too late .... its going to be real hard commenting on 60 ppls work every day ...... :)
This has been a familiar site for me too. The selective desaturation works well it may have been better if it was just the front of the train? maybe/maybe not.
I like the composition as well.
Is that really the color of the train? The trains near my house are all boring rust colored.
The selective desat does a good job of making the train stand out but the grays are a little flat. Maybe bump the contrast on everything but the train up a little bit.
