Runaway-Train-

I like these bright saturated colours, not so over the top that they could not be real.

Excellent work Alf.The colours and comp are great in this one.

Excellent HDR...but runaway? Doesn't appear to be moving to me. Excellent tonemapping!

You are 100% correct it didn't move an inch, but the term "Runaway Train" refferred to a brightly illustrated book I had as a child, and i was reminded of it by this photo. Thank you for your observations and kind comments Vicki.

 

Sincere Thanks To All

Such vibrant colours - killer image.

Great colours and contrast Alf, nice composition. Well done.

Great capture of this freight hauler. It's hard to find an older train like this in this good condition. Nice composition. The clouds add just the right mood and the perspective is great. I like the hdr. Good choice on this shot. Best to you-Jim

Hi Alf! This photo has that visual POP! that we have come to associate with HDR. It doesn`t work on all photos, but it is beautiful in this photo, excellent work! Top mark from me.

Please accept my apologies for not responding sooner, I must have been having a mental block with this image. This loco was being lovingly restored by a volunteer group. Many thanks for your very kind comments.

Sincere thanks for your visit and very kind words. I think HDR can fall into three basic categories and infinite sub-categories. The three basics being, Obvious HDR, Painterly HDR and the more subtle Natrural HDR. This is what I would call Obvious or bold HDR, as you quite rightly mentioned it doesn't work on all photo's, but I seem to remember an image of yours that was a much better example than this, that included a guy sitting on the front of the train.........think it was called "Inside The Round House" ...or something like that, a remarkable photo by any standard, so it remains for me to thank you sincerely for noticing my attempt.

Cheers Jim!
