    Re: The Great Britain IX Steam Tour

    And a very good effort it is too. Good use of the environment to frame the locomotive, gives the whole image a broader appeal as it's not just about the engine but also about the landscape and a general sort of 'Englishness'...

    I'd suggest cropping off the telephone pole at the left, it isn't adding anything and looks a bit orphaned on it's own. To make the image more timeless, and a bit classier, I suggest spending a bit of time cloning out what seems to be litter on the mown bit of grass and up by the path leading to the bridge. This is a good shot and worth making the most of.

    That said anyway.

          I had a feeling that grass looked golfed on...

          Now you print it, put it on the wall and feel good...

            Nice pic :-thumbsup:

            For info:
            Clag is black smoke from the engine
            Clack (valve) is the valve that allows water (at low pressure) to be fed into the boiler (which is at a higher pressure).

            Cheers,
            John
