Week 51 - Festive
Bulleid Battle of Britain class, 34070 : Manston passing Ropley hauling the Alton to Alresford Steam Illuminations service.
Shot using the X-T3 and 35mm f/2 because.... why not.

My other possibility were these Reindeer decorations, but the Loco came out well enough that it got the nod.

Week 49 - Wet
This is very much a PABD, shot during the stormy weather last night in order that I could complete my 52 as I am running out of time and completely out of inspiration for this theme.
I have purposely left the smear of rain top right of the shot.
Focus is actually on the tree (believe it or not).
The only vaguely redeeming features of the photo are that the verticals are vertical and that I kind of like the light on the tree.

Week 52 - Showcase
Choosing 1 from nearly 10k photos posted on flickr this year is quite hard.
I came down to two completely different, yet similar photos from across the year.
Firstly Ayla cosplaying as Ellie from The Last of Us 2.
Shot to produce a grainy B&W image in keeping with the dark and grimy nature of the game.

Secondly is a B&W shot of the S&D 7F, 53808, on her last evening in service before being withdrawn for overhaul on the Mid Hants Railway.
Shot in the dark at high iso and processed in B&W to produce a atmospheric capture of her last movements under her own power.

On balance I am posting the second image as my showcase image this year as while I love both images, there is more going on in this image than just the subject.

Beltin' chuffer shot Tim
Cheers all. Whilst I do really like the shot of Ellie, it is a bit sterile, whereas the moon, steam, hint of motion etc in the 7F shot I feel adds to the shot rather than detracting. I'm almost tempted to get it printed.Yep, like your choice Tim. Such an atmospheric shot, but still leaving the imagination of when/where/what to the viewer
