A lotta work, a lotta skill, results fantastic Art Nouveau... but then I looked up Art Nouveau and it does not fit, so perhaps characteristics of Art Deco architecture and design. Whatever the nitch, it is excellent work mixing colors, lines, and textures.

My style education was honed by reading and looking at examples of 29 styles:

Would I change anything, yep, I would horizontally flip so the train was heading to the future, otherwise, el-Perfect0'.

Thank you for always giving me something to think about (29 styles). However, I do need to point out the future in this scene is to the east (go east young man).

Yes, the weather in the west has been unusual with ancient lakes filling ... But, going east is a problem waiting to happen. In the spring when the snow in the east melts flooding will be an eastern problem. No escape... time to buy a water-tight camera.

Super! Much like automobiles of the 30's and 40's, these locomotives are just more stylish than what I see being used today (in my opinion). Thanks for sharing.

I think your eye for design, color and composition is off the charts in skill and creativity! If I weren't trying to learn more about certain editing styles (such as interpreting Naive Art) and basic editing skills, let alone shoot more "impactful" photography, I'd be highly tempted to explore the world you live in.


PS. This is Veronica speaking here now. I'm trying so hard to catch up on past contributations, and WOW, is this one of the very best or what. Linda said everything going through my mind...but she says it so much better than me.

Thank you Veronica. I am very pleased you found it and liked it enough to leave a such a nice comment. I had a lot of fun building that scene piece by piece and I appreciate having a place to show it to other creative people.
