For my point of view I could take the picture more closer to in front .. but not totally

Bonjour Don,
La bonne lumiere pour mettre en valeur ces jolies formes et couleurs d'un temps révolu.

Looks dangerous this thing. Are you sure it is no wind mill?
But it's old and rusty so a guess I can relax. Nice shot. Very detailed and a good perspective. With a bit imagination one can guess how beautiful this train could look once it's restaurated.

Wel Don, dit weer eentje van die mooie oude treins, die wel niet bollen maar met wat werk misschien nog ooit terug op rails kan gezet worden om te gebruiken als oud stoom machine. Het museum in Maldegem is daar een school voorbeeld van.(zie www.stoomcentrum.be) Bijna alle detail zijn waar tenemen, hoe hij onder de roest steekt ook. Het is geen verzicht maar mag er absoluut wezig.
Groeten,
John.

Heavy metal, what a lot of rust and details, very sharp, very clear, great light and colours, what a hell of a loc, Don !

Hi Don!
I love old things... so, I love this one. Thanks for sharing.
In my opinion B&W should be better... ;)

Quel dommage de voir cette machine laissée à l'abandon ! Sa place devrait être au musée. D'un autre côté, cela nous permet d'admirer cette superbe locomotive de 111 ans. Il faudrait respecter cette vieille dame qui a rendu (j'imagine) de nombreux services.
Très belle prise de vue Don.

Hi Don, nice light and colors on that old train, good point of view showing well the lok. I like trains and I feel a bit sad to see this one left alone, they probably have more urgent issues to address in Bosnia... but here in France an increasing number of such old trains are renovated by groups of enthusiasts (often retired SNCF French railways employees) and operated for scenic rides, I find it a good way to give them a second life.

Bellissimo esempio di locomotiva a vapore, immagino viaggi quasi sempre avventurosi, anche se corti, il vapore bianchissimo che esce da sopra e da sotto e il caratteristico rumore martellante. Non sono un pazzo visionario, ne ho vista una in funzione poco tempo fa!

Very good colors and good contrast between them.I like a lot the composition and the framing.Great light,textures and sharpness.Great shot!

This one is really old! I think with this one you could make more shots closer, there shuld be so much rust in it , that could result in some interesting images.

That is indeed a lot of rust. ;o) Lovely shot, good perspective chosen. :o) Good colours. Good shot, Don. :o)

Some people have a dog watching their house, others have a locomotive. I'm not sure which is more threathening. The engine here looks so heavy and is so dark. I was about to ask "when did it burn ?" when I spotted the yellow whistles. They seem recent. Is the thing still riding ?

clear and bright colors and sharpness in this tight crop on this old train, even the fence in front and the big roof with red tiles help to put this train into the spotlights.

Hi Don

I like the graphic qualities of this image & the good color saturation & contrast. Well done. More info in the note please.

Bonsoir Don, une vieille dame qui aurait fort besoins d'être rénovée, jolie vestige du passé. Amitié/ Martine.
