Gary, Dolores, Cathy, Murry, Randy and Darren – thanks so much for your nice comments! You really surprised me with your fast responds! Wow! I just went watering my flowers and after I came back I found so many comments! Thanks!
“The Old Train” is a result of today’s trip to the – Yes, Darren! – to the Railway Museum in Snoqualmie. I was there many times, but for the first time during taking my photos of those really old trains I used my IR filter. As always we had a great time there – Kate and I- it is such a cool place!

Great pic, Monika. I like the angle, b&w composition and the direction you have our eye traveling. Good shot. #120077

Monika,
My last post was supposed to read "You're a natural", which I hope you understood.

Monika Sapek level-classic May 26, 2019

Connie, Darren, Conrad and Leanne, thank you for your great comments! I appreciate them greatly!

Conrad – you know that my English isn’t so good, so I was thinking a long time, before I figured out what you meant ;-). And you know what I think; I think you are too kind for me as always! ;-)
Thank you, Conrad!

This is a beautiful shot - just perfect! #120432

Conrad L. Conero May 26, 2019

Monika,
Being a "natural" means you have an inherent skill. For example, the world chess champion Capablanca in the 1920's was a "natural". He was unbeatable without ever having studied. I think the judges share my opinion of your work. I counted at least 3 finalists of yours in the last contest.
I'll be lucky to ever make it that far. :)

Thank you for your comment, Evy! I appreciate your taking time to write to me!

Conrad, I have to tell you that I learn all the time! And I’ll never stop it, because …I love it! I love to read and study other people’s photos carefully. Today I bought Bryan Peterson’s book “Learning to see creatively”, so we will see how I turn out after I read this book ;-).
Thank you again for writing to me! I love to read your notes!
