crop out the cement block in left bottom corner and the 2 small branches about 3/4 up on left side and shot would be better. hopefully you got closer and took detail shots of a steam locomotive right? post more i love trains. " I hear the train a comin, comin round the bend, but i ain't seen the outside since I don't know whem, I'm stuck in folsom prison and time keeps movin on, and the train keeps a movin straight down to san antone."

Ah a fellow johnny cash lover. He is my #3 right behind sinatra and elvis. sorry springsteen, the true voice of the working man has always been and always will be johnny cash.

back to the photo . bryan peterson always writes about finding the shot within the shot. an interesting and rare find like an operational locomotive is clearly a subject matter to take time on. the dwtails is where its at, steam coming out the funnel, the wheels, the front of the train, the fireman shoveling coal, the bell on it, just a few ideas to explore the subject matter more thoroughlyu. since digital doesn't cost anything to shot. go wild.
