I used this shot for an experiment in the placement of the smokestack, at both the 1/3's and the golden ratio. Its interesting how that relatively small alteration, changes the impetus from where the train is coming from, to where the train is going.
An interesting experiment, fergmark. The locomotive is well past the centre line and I was happy to have it that way because I wanted to give equal emphasis to the train as a whole. In that sense there's more space in front of the train than behind it, and there's still plenty of room for the viewer to project the train's movement into.
