Ciekawe jak to zdjecie wyglada w kolorach. Czy drzewa maja jeszcze jakis odcien jesienny. Jakby ta bialawa para kontrastowala. Za ujecie tematu daję punkty.
Pozdrawiam Witek

Li Laszlo,

It's not just Vandana liking this one!!

You have to explain to me how you get the panning effect with a train coming your way! Really wondering how you got that one!
Good luck with the contest! Thumbs up!

Greetings,
Dennis

The sepia makes this a timeless image. How did you get the little stars in the trees -- which effect did you use? TFS. K2

Excellent focus Lazlo. Lovely blurred suroounds and the train itself so clear. Good colour and well composed. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘More Belated Birthdays’. Vertical is something I rarely think of when it is foggy. The Olympus is quite capable but at times I have to get the right amount of zoom for it to be able to focus in the half light.

What an amazing POV here Laszlo. I am trying to figure out how you captured it. Great focus on this lovely machine. Well seen well presented.

Szia Laci !
Egy kis Chicagót varázsoltál ide ! Hangulatos kép lett. Ezt a képet nem is tudnám színnel elképzelni. Időutazás!
Üdv, Zsú

Good angle! The colors are of a tone, the little movement effect around the train please me a lot! It work strongly, just have to imagine the whistle of it :)

Hello Laszlo,

Oh my god...Do I really have that train?
I feel honored Laszlo. Thank you for this train shot. And yes, I do like your train photos.

As you know, India have very large train network, and our trains are not that bright cute looking ones.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Vandana

Hi Laszlo,
Good shot . It reminds me an old western film . I like the mood made by the 'antic' and the 'accented edges' Nice POV and effects .

Hello Laszlo,
Can't remember last time I saw a working steam engine live!
Wonderful action has been captured and presented to the audience in this fine composition, and the sepia fits the subject!

I wish I could give this more than two points, Laszlo. This is an outstanding photo! Easily your best! I love the drama of the train approaching, steam and smoke belching from it. Your POV is perfect, and the sense of motion very quite effective.

Your color treatment of the photo is also very well done. You've taken us back in time with this image, and I can practically hear the train approaching!

Bravo!

Cheers,
- Bob

Hi Laszlo, This was on the features today. It has instant appeal in my opinion. Something from last century. Good angle of perpsective and the black and white makes it like an historical photograph. TFS. Murray.
