Beautiful shot of the train coming right at you. Dangerous, unless you had some zoom working for you. Bravo, Rita.

It's gotta be a Chevy, right? The sun is out and his headlight is on!

Good composition and structure often calls for moving objects to travel diagonally across the photo's frame and that we see more of where the object is going than where it's been. You placed yourself and your camera in the right spot to accomplish that and the result is quite nice. Another strong diagonal here that cuts across the diagonal created by the tracks is that rocky hill line, coming down from the left. There's also a nice division of rock versus trees and they're separated by the man-made machine. The segmentation of elements in this shot are very natural and create a pleasing combination. You've done well, Grasshopper (whether this was all intentional or not).

Oh my, this is Spectacular action shot and your post work is spot on, brilliant posting. Just love the whole thing and the way you got some smoke coming out of the stack. Fabulous colours and detail, I feel like I'm standing right there watching him coming. I'm sending this image to my brother, he loves locomotives
