So, here's the original. I used the prism in Topaz lens effects, which I'd never had occasion to try before, to multiply the train. Then upped the detail, saturation, and such and created a sort of panning effect in which only the trains remain in sharp focus. #1556646

Fantastic work Mitch!! The trains come right out of the frame!! Love it!! #10926327

Yes, very nice. The Harry Potter and out of the frame references are right on. I think the focus difference makes it feel as if the very sides of this mountain are vibrating with the force of the engine(s) thrusting through it. Excellent work, Mitch. #10926427
