That's a shame I would have loved to see it bigger.
I think your rework has improved the shot quite a bit. The focus is certainly on the train now. The new sky also fits the shot a lot better than the original.

After shooting the original in raw I used Camera Raw to create three distinct Tiff images @ +/- 2ev. I then ran that through Photomatix then Photoshop and Topaz filters to finalize the image. The first is the original image. The second the result.
Great series - Actually, I think the "brightened-up" colors look a lot like the sky and lighting appear just before a really wierd summer storm hits.
Nice Capture- Thanks for the post

Well done Rix, I see you have a habit a lot of us have. We tend to without really realizing it but we are always putting angry clouds in the sky. I like what you have accomplished, not overblown in the least. Great subjects !

Great work RixPix. Always heartening to see someone take good advices, work on them and re-post the result. Makes our time and effort worthwhile.

Just finally now found the reworked version, outstanding Rix, extremely well done. Sky looks much better, I think the reason we do the sky so boldly as the original is that we are trying to overcome a bland spot in the picture and we just loose ourselves in making the change.
This one is spot on!!
