Engine 734 Colored

Engine 734. One of my ex-professors is buying this one for her husband as a Valentine's Day Present. Turns out he grew up in England, and is a train nut. I'm uploading the B&W version in that thread. Kat

Wow - some people have serious money - heck, even if I bought it I doubt I could park it in my back yard, anyway... :)

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. Last summer, I tried to give her a small framed picture as a present. Joan pops out with, "I was your Marketing Instructor for Heaven's Sake! Didn't you learn anything in my class.? You'll never grow your business if you give it all away. However, you will grow your friend-base!" The hardest thing to learn is how to charge friends.

I have seen a 16x20 of this photo, coming out of my printer, (NO... I did NOT pirate this image..... Kathy sent it to me to print for her....) anyway...It is stunning!!! I told her as it was coming out of the printer that it was amazing, and I stand by that... I really love it!!!

The picture's great - I'm just stunned she's buying the train for her husband... if I brought a train like that home my wife would have conniptions...

The kids would like it though... Hmmmmmm... this could fly after all... and you wouldn't have HALF the traffic issues on the drive into the city...

After earlier reading what it's like driving in the car with Hubby-Daddy.... Understandable!!!! lollllllllllll.

Tracy - it will be a long time before I forget the feeling of the growing self-confidence that came over me, listening to your excitement coming across the phone lines as you watched it appear. Maybe, just maybe - I am a "real" photographer! k

This is one of the best locomotive pics I have seen on the net Kat.

It has all the right ingredients, the smoke the angle taken and the loco itself, all terrific.

Thanks, Stewart. The following is a link to Bill Mervalage's rail pix. I met him at digital image cafe (and later in person.) He is the one who engineered my passion for Engine 734 and other steam trains (and also a burgeoning hope that my images are sellable.) It was really flattering - after he's seen hundreds of 734-images, that he's told me he's never seen versions like a couple of mine. Heady stuff! lollllllllllllllll

It looks to me like the opening frame to an old western! It's simply an awesome image.

This is one stunning photo that I have just caught up with - simply one of the best loco shots with awesome colour and detail - amazing ~ John

I liked thsi picture the first time I saw it (can't remember where that was....) it is still excellent. Love it, well done.
