I like the way the atmosphere shows in the first one. I feel the contrast in the second one might be a little too much.

That’s what I like with the first one Gaylord. I think I’ve come to terms with the second - probably through familiarity, it’s been around on my computer for quite a while. You know what they say about familiarity!! Thanks for your thoughts on it. I may use it for this year’s Christmas Card.

I'm wondering how you would work this one into associating it with Christmas.

Could pop a few presents in the lady’s basket, decorate the loco a bit, drape a bit of tinsel here and there, cheer up the old fella with the bag and write Merry Christmas large in top left blankish area? I did something similar last year with my Steampunk Special compo from way back - it was quite well received!

Oh, my! How delightful. I like the lighting on the second composite but even better I like the delicacy and fragile look to the first. Thank you for the explanation to Cany. You certainly have a lot of patience. We delight in your ability.

That’s a nice description of the first one Ellen, thank you. My mother told me patience is a virtue, and I am known for having some!🙄 After three weeks laid-up in a hospital bed (way back) the surgeon told me I was a very patient man - I thought that could be taken a couple of ways!

Rather spectacular! I prefer the first, perhaps, as someone said, for the atmosphere, but it isn't an easy choice. You mentioned adding a figure to the second; could you help this old coot see where that figure is?

Here’s the original Sam, can you spot any changes? https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-720677-1.html

Definitely not bored. Both of these are spectacular. The first is my favorite also. I don't know why; but it is.
