...if there is one! This old narrow-gauge steam railroad rolling stock was rusting away in Silverton, Colorado. Silverton was once a silver and gold mining town, and the final stop on this famous line. At 9,300' elevation(3.000 m)in the San Juan Moutains, the town was just emerging from winter on this April afternoon.

Classic railroad picture. Love the colors and well composed. Congratulations.

Je seconde Pablo dans sa critique pour les mêmes raisons.

On a une très belle composition ici, une intéressante description aussi qui complete bien la photo.

Je regrette un brin la légère surexposition dans le haut, mais dans l'ensemble j'aime bien le résultat final.

Il est intéressant de voir la rouille sur les wagons, signe d'un travail acharné ?

Lovely post, I do agree a little more saturation would be even better. Well done

Bonsoir, Anne-Marie.
Jolie photo. Point de vue intéressant et les détails sur les wagons sont tres croustillants.
Techniquement, je pense qu'un petit "fine tuning" pourrait être appliqué.
Vois mon WS pour plus de détails.

Hello Anne Marie...
This is a very interesting capture for several reasons! First I love old trains, and this is a real treat... Second, this is interesting frontier history... Third, it is a good photograph, hehehehehe! Well composed with good details, the latter important for this kind of image... maybe I miss a tad more saturated colours, but maybe not present since I see this is an early digital shot? Anyway... thanks for sharing this goodie!
Regards,
Pablo -

I'll return with your well deserved greenie tomorrow, seems like I'm always out after week-ends... hehehehe OK!

Vous avez très bien fait de publier cette photo Anne-Marie. Il y a de l'Histoire là-dedans.
Profondeur de champ très réussie, tout comme l'ensemble de la photo. Belle lumière.
Les trains se sont arrêtés, mais nous, nous continuons à les regarder sans cesse. Il y a comme une atmosphère de nostalgie.
Continuez de puiser dans vos archives.
Merci.

Very nice photo Anne!
Looks like something out of a western movie. Should I expect to see a cowboy, John Wayne maybe? :)
I like the background with the snowy mountains.
Well done!

Well done here A M
Nice subject..very realistic colors on my monitor..
sharp and I agree on Cstathoulis remark.. a good ''western '' shot. TFS ..
Points later..

It really is a pity that the sky was so grey/white. I see a patch of blue to the right. Maybe you should consider in this kind of shot to "fill" the sky with blue. It is allowed and it is only cheating a bit. And it improves photos a lot.

I like the tones here, Anne Marie. I was at this place last year and loved it! The trains make nice leading lines that bring the eye in. Nice work!

Intéressante description de l'image dans votre note ce qui ajoute une meilleure compréhention de la photo. Je me suis permise un atelier pour ajouter de la saturation surtout sur l'arrière plan. Beau travail et bravo...

Hi Anne
wonderful photograph.
The composition is very nice and the scenery is stunning.

Hello Anne Marie,

Excellent POV which shows the old rolling stock off so well against the backdrop of the mountains. Good natural looking colours (so I must disagree with those who say more saturation) and excellent detail. TFS,
David

Hi Anne Marie, Interesting historical photo. The Rio Grande has found whats over the other side. Great backdrop which is inspirational to see these Colorado mountains. Good result. Murray.

Being a railroad man (amongst the many hats I wear), I like all things railroad, particularly nostalgia, having lived on the tailend of some of these cabooses for many years in Canada....
Cheers

It's a place for meeting were the conductors can speak eyes in the eyes:
- Hey buddy! Long trip!
- Yeah as usual.... How many cows?
- 267 and about you?
- 274... It was close... But i win this time :)

Cause yes! They count the cow like cow look at the trains passing :)

That's a very interesting view! With the montain behind... THat's great!

Après avoir regardé l'original et les autres versions. Je préfère l'original.

Il ya un je ne sais quoi qui nous fait respirer l'air de la montagne que les autres n'ont pas.

Pour ma part je ne crois pas que le fini plastique des pubs est l'déal en photographie

very nice works
