Posted by Mitch Goldman on March 11, 2012  Steam and windmills - two classic elements towards one great shot. Wonderful catch, Drew. Nice to have you posting on RP again, it's a real treat! Posted by J. C. Smith, Jr. on March 11, 2012  The smoke and steam, plus the light reflecting onto the near side of the locomotive, adds lots texture and detail, so that this image becomes much more than just the silhouette of a train against a beautiful sunset. Also, I like that each wheel under the 844 creates a shadow in the locomotive's own steam. A stunning capture, Drew! Posted by 64jmb on March 11, 2012  Wow! What a great picture! Classic Texas! Posted by Al Crossley on March 11, 2012  Great exposure--I love that this one is NOT a silhouette. The glossy flanks of the locomotive and tenders add richness to the shot. Very cool! Posted by Jake McGarvie on March 11, 2012  This is one unique photo. All the elements are there.Any more coming? Posted by on March 11, 2012  Dramatic photo, Drew ... very nostalgic, excellent work. Posted by Dennis A. Livesey on March 11, 2012  Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Can't best stem for color and drama. Great eye and well done Drew. Posted by Zach Pumphery on March 11, 2012  Wow Drew.
