Hi Andrew, I think black and white is a good choice for this image. I think the tones are good. It looks like the locomotive is coming right at me! You have lots of leading lines which lead the viewer from all the edges into the central subject of the locomotive. The man in the left of the photo adds action and movement. The only thing I recommend changing is the boxcar on the left. It's very close to the edge, so I think it'd be better to either add more space to the left of the boxcar if you have it, or crop the left 25% of the boxcar to make it appear intentionally cropped.   Posted: 10/01/2026 16:21:25

Hi, Andrew. B&W works well for this image. I wouldn't take anything off the right side as it gives some context. Having an overcast day kept glare off the train and no harsh shadows, so maybe not a bad thing.   Posted: 10/02/2026 15:40:52

Very nice image and I agree, B&W was a great choice. The composition is good - the cars on both sides give context and scale. Agree with Janice to maybe add a little space between the car on the left and the edge, but I wouldn't remove it. I think the tonal range and contrast are great - the touch of steam against the black iron is a nice touch.   Posted: 10/02/2026 18:38:29

Hey Andrew. As always, good choice with the black and white. The tones are nice and the image is very sharp. I am not sure how I feel about the space, or lack of, on the left. So I made it happen and now we can all see what it looks like with more space. The extra space to me makes the image seem off balance. I did not even bother putting it in On-1 NoNoise as the image is very sharp. Good capture of the gentleman next to the engine.   Posted: 10/05/2026 00:31:47
