Steam Engine Wheel

This Steam Engine was in the B&O Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. All

comments are appreciated. Cheers, Sondra

Great composition.

Sometime the photo is right in front of you and we don't see it. Here you have captured that elemental photo of finding beauty in a larger scale setting that in itself would also have been wonderful as well.

 

Good job!

The composition and colour are both very good. I tried cropping the top down to a double square format but yours ncludes more of the spokes which is fun.

Glad to see you again, thanks for your comment. Cheers, Sondra

You are a special photographer. I love your style. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice geometry....Very nice shot. T

Hi Sondra! Agree with Terry, very pleasing geometric subject. I like the radiating spokes. Very nice color and exposure. I wish the lower left axle hub was not truncated by the frame, but it does duplicate the flat top of the white armature, which is cool. A good photograph. Regards.

I always think the wheels ojn locos are the most interesting, this ones really nice

Thanks to all for your kind words and support. Cheers, Sondra.

Speaking of right in front of you, I worked at the B&O and never got one quite like this! VERY nice shot!

Hi Sondra, As a lifelong railroad fan I really like this photo. It's sort of a statement on the state of Steam power. Still, and rusting in place. The dieselization of America in the 50's rapidly caused the retirement of the bulk of steam locomotives. Maybe 1% of those remaining are still functional. I'd also like to say that in looking through your Portfolios you never cease to delight me in your compositions. I have learned a lot from studying your images. This is the beauty of PNET. I just got a Canon 5D and a couple of lenses, so I'm off and running. Thanks for always being an inspiration to me.
