STEAM Nickel Plate Road 765 B&W and Color version

dug this one out of the archives from 2009 I wanted to do a comparison of the image as a Black & White versus the original color version, little post processing done, some Dodge and Burn and saturation reduction and Contrast added.

Both great, however my preference is #1.
Ditto. The smoke seems more dynamic in the color version, as well as the contrast in the engine.

I like them both. I'd love to see how it looks in a sepia tone. I think it would be a very good mimic of a period photo.

I'll be the odd man out here (what's new?)--I prefer the black and white, as I generally do with photos of this sort. There's no particular reason; it's just a general preference.

Thanks,
I thought about doing a Subtle Sepia version but ran out of time, I'll play with it this evening

Steam has always been my favorite in B&W

My favorite is #2, looks like it could have been taken in 1930! Don't see any clues as to modern items, the people, car, signs and building look period correct to me. Well done, great photo.

Very nice! I like the Colorado as it somehow brings out the intensity of the smoke.
