Runaway-Train-

I was playing around with this HDR image and it occured to me that it

looked like an image from a book I had as a child, it was full of big bright

images and as I recall it was called "The Runaway Train" I then

accentuated the look as much as possible in Photo Shop.

 

Your thoughts and observations are always welcome. Thank You.

It does have that 'text book colorful' look - well Done.

Great work, like the strong colors!

Alf... The Little Engine that Could comes to mind also, but this engine's face has a mustache. Great shot and the tree adds excellent balance and detail... Mike

 

 

great hdr, well done

Nice shot, ,beautiful colors light and composition, good details ................................ Best regards.

Alf,

 

Wow....this is stunning. The colors & that sky is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Patsy

Excellent HDR, I love the colors.

 

Alberto

you've done a fantastic job.

Extremely clever idea, and such a delightful and colorful image. I distinctly see a face on the front of the train. :-)

very good hdr and colors...congrats

Amaxing detail, color, perspective......excellent Alf.......you certainly are showcasing your talents in this one...sincerely, Gail

looking at this photo i thought and some picyures of cartoons. then, iread you was inspired here by a book you had when you was a child. well, this means you did here exactly what you wanted to do. bravo, is also discrete as traitment

this is charming, Alf; hope to see more treated pictures by you, because your subtle treatment here reveals an uncommon gift for it; also, i luv pictures of buildings, and yours are very interesting. i'm grateful for your visit to my bench 'Meet me here for the melting'; your idea about the wine complements much the mood the shot intended to create ;-} dp

Way to go my friend..

What a happy runaway train!

This is very good Alf! So pleased to see your result with this lovely train. Your post treatment is excellent, bringing out just the right amount of the possibility with a tonemapped photo. Look at that sky with the clouds and look at the fantastic colors, both on the Runaway-Train and the nature around it. Your ability to use the technique in the exact proportions makes this a photo to be proud of and something for the "anti HDR" people to study very carefully. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Take really good care dear friend and all the best to you and your family from Jannica

You are very kind, I really appreciate you stopping by. I share your love of buildings and architecture, but I don't give it as much time as I would really like because I love Landscape photography so much, sometimes on a rare occaison I get to combine the two. Thank you Donna.

These colors literally jump off the screen - amazingly vivid! I too find the perspective to work quite well. Excellent detail.

 

Awesome work..............

ALF: Great HDR. Tom

I like the angle of view and the perspective you have created. The HDR works fine and creates a strong composition.
