Columbia River Express

Comments, ratings appreciated on train shot--thanks

Very nice blend. It's a nice contrast in a timeless effect against a modern element. Very sweet!

On my monitor the contrast seems way too high, the shadows are all blocked up.

TC and Paul, thanks for your comments. Paul, I know the shadows are blocked up. This isn't meant to be a realistic, b&w photo. It's simulated infrared, grainy, somewhat diffused. The original of this was actually very well-exposed: however, it was just another photo of a train, so I tried to do something different with it.

Sometimes people just don't get what artistic rendering is all about with photography. I like your treatment of this; makes a ho-hum shot something special and worthy of a second glance.

Kim, thanks for your comment. It's appreciated.

Very retro! Thanks
