That one works much better IMHO, Michael With the fresh greenery on both sides of the track and an elevated viewpoint you can tell it's a country setting. Lovely smart engines, too!
Thanks again Andrea, it's not very often I see these 2, so it was worth the 20 minute walk from the station.

Nice rural background to your very colourful Train. I think it would be very difficult to crop out the platform as you need the track curling round to add interest and lead the eyes back into the picture. Having one or 2 people there would have been a better option to break up the expanse of the platform.
Prefer the 1st image myself as the second one does not suggest as much Rural to me.

Thank you Pete, I tried a crop and it didn't work. I wouldn't have minded a couple of people in view, they just weren't in the right place and made the scene look messy.
Ooooh trains! What's not to like?
Exactly, thanks for looking Dave!
The loco in the first is so clean and bright it could be a model and I quite like it for the theme, as you did I'd pick it over the second for the theme.
Thanks Chris, the background drew me to the scene.
Hi Michael,
Synthetic - I like the contrast of the blue and the pink, the use of diagonals and even the background.
Nothing to moan about from me
Rural - The second shot for me, single track through the countryside sells rural to me. I don't mind 67s, but the 60 is more pleasing on the eye imo. Where was this then?
I do like the 60's too, they have a certain character I think. This was at Butterly, Midland Railway Centre (also the site of the west shed, the home of duchess of sutherland)
