A lovely shot, very well exposed and composed.

Thanks Helen - a lot smoother than I like - but that was the theme :)
 
Great theme image for smooth, nice tones and colours :)
 
The water has got a really nice blur to it and the surrounding colours are wonderful.
 
Week 15 : Snapper's Choice

Stanier Black 5 No44932 this evening returning from a filming job in Bristol. Almost home in Carnforth - crossing the River Lune on Carlisle Bridge, Lancaster.

Perfect - both bridge pillars to frame the edges and the train perfectly positioned with great capture of the billowing steam.

Would like a tiny bit more on top if possible... (and that's not a comment on my hair, :D)

Thanks Graham :)
 
Lovely shot Dave. Works really nicely in mono, and can almost hear the noise!
 
Another great train shot Dave, the black and white processing is spot on.
 
Works well in B&W, pity just missed the top bit of steam but might have chopped the river off to get all the steam.

Thanks Keith. Yeah - had to get the river otherwise no point getting the bridge!

Great timing and a good sharp shot.
Mono suits this well.
 
You've done well with quite a busy shot. Looks good in mono. I think I agree with @overbez that it could do with a bit more space at the top but probably not possible with losing too much at the bottom... if you get my drift :)

That's a very nice photo, and perfectly on topic - no need for explanations at all.
 
Nice take on the theme and a nice looking axe Dave.
When I saw your post about a "cunning plan", I have to admit my first thought was a train with connected coaches or wagons.... :LOL:

Cheers - yes something like that was the plan :)
 
Real nice focus on the connection to the guitar. Love the fall off in focus from there too, great bokeh going up the neck.

The blue is a little bit 'electric' for me, something to compliment the beautiful tones in the wood would be kinder, a bit more mellow.

Thanks. I didn't chose the blue. That's what colour the chairs on stage were.
 
Lovely dof and colour- the reflections and light make a striking image.
