Very nice shot, Robert. I like taking photos of trains too, but I don’t get a chance to see a steam engine. I like the BG and the smoke from the stack really adds to this image. It’s great that you caught it going across a neat bridge too. Love that the coach cars are orange. Great contrast. The only suggestion I have is that it looks a tad bit over sharpened when I enlarge it.

Hi Robert, love steam engines and the smoke from this one is so cool. Agree with @Donna_Callais about the sharpness.

Colors and everything else are perfect.

Cheers,
David
