    One i shot a while ago at Portadown Station. Drove up to try and get some shots of the Steam train but there was a ridiculous amount of people on the platform. Was quite pleased with this one but it was the only decent shot i got while there. I have a colour version but the bright orange of their coats was a bit much in my opinion.
    I have entered it in a competition on ‘Travel & Transport” so thought id share it here. (hopefully the right section)

    thanks for looking :)

    This is very nice Gary.

    There is great clarity in the forground and the rails off into
    the distance make a good composition.

    Very good conversion.

    Good luck with the competition.

    Hi Joseph. I used photoshop to process the original raw file and Silver efex pro to do the mono conversion.

    I also love it so much, Gary!
    The man’s facial expression & train’s smoke drew my attention at once :D
    Hope you will win in the competition~

    this is just lovely – I really like it

    the conversion is lovely and definately the way to go with the orange jackets
    For competition I suggestion you watch out for the very light part of the sky around the black smoke – its a little light and if Judges have to pick something they might pick on that.

    perhaps burn it down a little –
    I wouldn’t suggest cropping because i love the dirty black smoke :)
