Oh My.  Is that ever a beautiful scene.  As Many know I love train Pictures.  You have offset the train and broought in the sunset beautifully.  Way to go. Nice work

Thank you very much Judy B.
You made my day, I hope to be ordering this soon in a large print with some of my other recent work that is ok. I can not wait to see it in print like a 18X24 or larger.

OH Hey that would be beautiful!

What a wonderful image!  I love the colours and the scene is just beautiful!  I like the way that the train is "coming into the photo".  Wondering if it would even be better if it was a little bit past half way?  But just a marvelous photo.

Knew you would like it Pat!

You've ballanced the sky well with the foreground, there's colour in the sunset and yet just the right amount of detail both in the locomotive and the grass, lovely moody shot.

Summicron and Pat thank you for your comments.

From the time I was 16, until I was 22, I worked summers on tie gangs and maintenance equipment for railroads.

My first summer, I was about 100 miles from home, living in a bunk car with other kids I didn't know.   It seemed like a universe away, and I was achingly homesick.    I remember the sun going down, and a diesel engine like that one passing through.

That bittersweet memory came rushing back when I saw your picture.    Thank you for that moment.   That is precisely what good art does.

Well done.

BTW, that little bit of sunlight  coming through the cab window makes a huge difference for your shot.

CC?  Not much to add to this shot.  As the others mentioned, a nicely balanced image!

Barbarian,
I am glad that this photo was able to take you back as it did. That is a great complement.
Thanks and God Bless

As the others said, Well Done!

Wow.  This is postcard quality, in my opinion.  Barbarian is right:  That light coming through the window contributes so much to this.  And that sunset, too.  I would have this printed up the biggest it will print and hang it on your wall!
