That's why I said "just a *smidgen* more telephoto". Overall the image as contributed is very pleasing, and I wouldn't want you to think that I'd lose the sky or the mountains. It's just that the locomotive seems to my eye to be neither foreground nor background. Just a personal preference and not a criticism of someone else's composition. ======================================================= -> SPORRS: 'Serious Photographers Of Railroad Related Subjects' -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs/ -> Message © 1998 SPORRS® - All Rights Reserved =======================================================
