After shooting the original in raw I used Camera Raw to create three distinct Tiff images @ +/- 2ev. I then ran that through Photomatix then Photoshop and Topaz filters to finalize the image. The first is the original image. The second the result.

I see just one image, and it is not labeled.

Make sure your image is a JPG. Size should not matter.

Nice transition!

Nice plant "cloning". Sky from a second source?

I prefer the first HDR but I would try to tone the greens down a little bit. The over green bits pulls ones eyes away from the train which is the main element of the photo. Good job done on the cloning. It does add to the picture.

The HDR process has added what has come out as looking like sensor dirt just above the train in the second shot. A little bit of cloning will sort that out.

Great job. I really like what you have done to arrive at 2 and 4.

Like the composition, especially the second image. HDR work in image #2 is good apart from the clouds. This is the limitation of a pseudo HDR. May be better to swap the sky with another. Image 4 is overdone for my taste but love the leading lines of the tracks. As others have commented, great cloning work.

Here are the adjustments, new sky, some touch ups, removed red tone from tracks and loco.

Is it possible for you to add this shot in a downloadable form? I would like to see it larger.

For some reason I cannot upload any files over 2mb. Anything over that and I get a network error.
