Nice! I'm normally not a big fan of HDR, but I really like this one. My grandfather (born 1900) was a RR engineer. He actually drove the train. He started out as a fireman (loaded the coal into the furnace to create the steam).
Thanks for bringing my memories of him to the forefront.

Very well done indeed! Just enough HDR to that "POP"! Thanks, Boone. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Love the photo - the perspective, the tracks leading you into the picture and those clouds - wow!
Still remember going down to the RR crossing in town and watching my grandfather charge through there (waving to me as he passed) as an engineer for the Missouri-Kansas-Texas RR (the Katy). Great memories.
