This is a wonderful 'painting' - it's so wall-hangable!Is this in Michigan, by any chance? (lots of antique steam engine fests around here this summer.) #1165805

I adore IT! This has to be way up there in the GP competition, Mike. You've worked wonders wit the light, and the composition is unbeatable. Favorite! #7831590Dick W. Wyatt August 09, 2009

Thanks so much for the very kind comments! This shot was taken last year at the Sycamore Steam Show in Sycamore, IL. The image came to mind once again as this year's show starts on Thursday and I hope to make it there for at least one day. I made some tonal and contrast adjustments to the original image. I did not add anything but a few minor things were originally cloned out. This is an HDR image (3 shots - hand held). It was not posed, my wife pointed out the two gentlemen and I was lucky enough to get a few shots. :) Mike #7831827Sharon C. Hinze August 09, 2009
Whatever you did...this is a wonderful image. The color, clarity and the story told through including the two old duffers! Love it! Sharon #7832419

Sharon and Randy - Thanks so much! I did have to make some corrections to the image because one of the gentlemen did move just enough to cause problems. :) Mike #7846273Kathy Reeves August 18, 2009
