These were taken on Thursday at an evening photoshoot. The entire GWR loco fleet was out, around fifteen engines plus a few odds and ends.
Do you think the pp is suitable or do you prefer straight photos?

The compositions, light and pp are all top-rate IMO. Hugely enjoyable series, Dave. For me the one with the least impact is #4, but that's only because all the others are so fantastic!
Prefer "straight" photos? Surely you jest

If the details were ultra-important a straight photo would be better, but for atmosphere, mood, nostalgia etc. the processed ones are just what's needed.

These are pretty interesting. I will say that 1 and 3 have me yearning for a slightly higher dark point. 2 looks perfect. 5 seems to not work for me until it is rotated clockwise a bit. 4 feels like it needs something to complete it. I thought it was interesting what happened when I gave each section of brick a shot with a large soft dodge brush.

I'm a "train guy" and I enjoyed these--with your PP, which I find perfectly suitable--very much, especially 1, 3, and 5. You've managed to avoid the kind of woodenly posed set-ups that I see so often over here. I would guess you could pass many of these off as historical.

Thanks Linda - I did hesitate before including four. It may be better a a pure silhouette.

That’s how I looked at them RG. Some guys on the shoot complained about the loco in #2 being hidden by the staunchions - they just didn’t get it!
