I like the shot, but there is too much dead space on the right hand side of the image, also might want to trim some of the sky as well.

Too much sky which includes a big dust spot that needs to be cloned out.

Way too much sky and too much room on the right side of the frame. If you have a frame where the train has moved down the tree line a little, that would be the way to go.

Good luck on the edits. It's a neat shot.

No, Troy. Still way too much sky and space in front of the train. If he has a shot with that much space behind the train, great. Try that.

Thank you for the many responses. I'm glad you generally liked the image. I see that the driver should have given the plus gas a few metres forward for optimal composition!
I hope I can get it right now.

Hi,
Thank you for your help. Another frame, one without the smoke that made the shot unique, but had a better train position relative to the trees was finally accepted to the gallery.

Thats too bad. The smoke really made the shot, for me.

I personally have had a problem with those trying to tell us to turn railroad photography into an "art form." It's fine for them to do so, I welcome it in fact, but what I do have a problem with is that the practitioners of the more "arty" shots, I have found, tend to look down their nose's at others who are shooting more "mundane" shots.
Railroad photography is what you make of it, but one way is not "better" than another, IMHO. Unless you have a pole right thought the nose of the engine! -SG
