        Wow!!! …. That is a killer shot. Simply sensational.
        Deep rich colour, exceptional detail, and a composition to die for.
        Pere Marquette 1225 is such a beautiful lady! She’s all POWER and CLASS!
        I LOVE IT!

                        OMG, I am blushing. You all just made me feel so good.

                        You know what i wish?
                        I wish we could all be together and go out and photograph this steam locomotive as it goes flying by. First you hear the whistle in the distance then then you see the bright light and billowing steam over the trees in the distance. And as it approaches, your heart starts pounding. And then it is just about in your face and the ground starts to tremble. And lastly you feel the breeze and the RUMBLE as it passes you by. And one of the best things is that the engineering keeps blowing that whistle all the time.

                        Thank you all so very much.
                        LORELL

                            To generate all that steam (smoke?) I reckon they must run it on rags soaked in sump oil!!!

                                        Dave, when I first saw it, it left me speechless also!

                                        And when are we to be “showered with steam” with more wonderful images from your new camera, you promised us, Lorell? :)

                                                You set the bar for this month’s “Best of…” thread very high, Lorell.

                                                But since this isn’t a competition, and we’re all friends here, I’d like to post one taken a few hours ago…


                                                [Nikon D7500 + Nikkor 18-300mm @ 155mm, handheld & manual, 1/250 sec, f/6.0, ISO 500, processed in ACR & PSCS5]

                                                Not much processing done here: a crop, some localized Curves tweaking, a slight boost to the yellows of the leaf, and a minor desaturation of the pebbles.

                                                Sometimes it’s worth going out in the rain and getting soaked; the light and colors are so much different than those of a bright sunny day.

                                                Anyway, while I’m pleased with the version here, I can see several things worth trying because they might improve the image. What suggestions do you all have?

                                                    I really like it. What about a gradual darkening on the right side similar to the left side?
