        Thanks for your comments. I thought it looked better in mono - here's the colour version

          Keep looking at them both & really cannot decide which I prefer, both such great shots.

            I think the mono works better as the train and the carriage flow into each other better as a single monotone image, it leads the eye in from the left to the engine, in colour you sort of lose that continuity of the train image..... I don't know if that makes sense? But I know what I think I mean.

              WOW!! That is one cracking shot. The mono really stands out, saw this loco at SVR late last year.

                  Nice set, both are good, but I think that the mono version would be be better if you would tweak the green a bit, so that it stands out more against the black

                      A nice sharp image that works well in mono Butm TBH, I do prefer to see more of the train disappearing back into the distance rather than just chopping it off.

                      Cheers,
                      John

                        I like the mono but for me it needs bit more contrast to make the old girl stand out...
