No's 1 and 4 for me - I find that number 1 leads the eye nicely, and has a pleasurable feel to it.

No. 4 just has perfect composition with the old mining-town feel to the houses in the background.

Great shots, but I feel I have to agree with the comments on the selective colouring one - two items that strike me:
1) The bloke in colour is too small and insignificant a detail
2) Don't know what you can do about it, but the water tower (due to it's light shade) dominates the picture more than the train - was the engine colour really that bad?

Also like number 3, but it just doesn't have quite the panache of numbers 1 and 4 [that said, I'd be dead chuffed if it was one of mine!]

These are all great photos, like the Deltic pic and that last image. Good stuff.

Thanks guys... these were all taken around Keighley area in Yorkshire
I know selective colouring is not for everyone and I knew when posting it that some would add comments about it,
I have the full colour version as well and I also like that one - but at the end of the day I guess its each to his own regarding editing and technique's etc

thanks for the comments
Chris

Apart from the selectively coloured 3F these are really good,are they from the K&WVR because I am up there for a day next week and would be grateful for any advice on good locations

Selective colour on #5 of 3F LMS 'Jinty' 47279 Tank Engine is excellent as is the image itself. Fantastic job. Should be worthy of a steam train hardback book.
