CPR 5797


	CPR 5797 This is a composite of two shots. One of a rail tie and the other of the train of course. The tie is the base. Make another layer with the image of the train. use the back ground eraser to take away anything in the train photo you don't want. Things usually start to take shape at this point. Applied all changes to train image at this point such as curves,hue/saturation etc. plus some dodging of the head lights to get them a bit brighter. Here's the tricky part - Wendy Stevenson

Excellent composite, Wendy! Love how the train looks like it's shattering the frame!!

Thanks Dan. I've had this in my gallery for a while and it never did anything the first time so I'm trying it out again after a couple of small adjustments"-)

Lots of work here, Wendy, but it all pays off with that great 'movement' forward as if the engine was breaking glass! Excellent work and composition!
Aloha,
