  Congratulations on your Finalist. I'm nuts about the old steam engines, and have shot a couple myself. Would you say where this one is located and a little about it? That kind of info really adds to a picture for me. Thanks.

  thank you Kathy..shot this in July at ol Dodge City, KS..funny story..this isn't the cleaned up version (I took out the town stuff in bottom right corner..actually in the original photo there was a trash barrel with an RV parking sign on it)..this was my first attempt with full edit PSE and I had the cattle catcher extended half way down the block!!! Learning is fun if you have a sense of humor!! I think the final clean version is in my gallery..thanks again!

  Thanks, David! Btw, the perfect photographer's world wouldn't have one sign, one wire, one pole, or one stupid trash barrel anywhere in sight, would it?

I edit in PSP mostly, but did buy PSE9 - there's definitely a learning curve there! My most widely used tool in any program is the Oops tool (you know... that "go back and try it again" arrow! lolll
