About the Image(s)
This is an image of a Standard Class 4 Tank locomotive on the North York Moor Railway, taken with the driver looking at the level crossing sign. I did wonder about removing all the impedimenta on the left hand side but felt there needed to be something that he was looking at. The image was straightened, sky enhanced and a bit of vibrance added. Another figure in the cab was cloned out. What do you think?

Hi Andrew. This is a nice photo, especially with the engineer leaning out and looking at the sign. It tells a story. And I like your title! If the engineer is the main subject, you might want to make him stand out more by darkening the things that are brighter than him - the sky, the window next to him with the reflection of a tree, and maybe even the bright copper pipes (just a little). You could darken the stuff on the left to hide it a little, but leave the pole and sign just as they are because they're important for the story. I wish I could see the front edge of the train. I don't know if the train was moving and if that would've been hard to capture. Well done! Posted: 12/21/2024 04:46:16
