Thank you Doug. I like them both too but I am going to move the B&W to exhibition. I want to post another image to this gallery.

I like them both but I think I prefer the color version. Well done Troy. -Doug

Thank You Mary Anne. I liked your suggestion and posted a B&W version.

Good composition, Troy. I'd like to see a b & w version, which I think might really enhance the subject.

Thank You Rod, Penny, Brent, and CJ. CJ, I boosted the color a bit and this is located in the small Oklahoma town of Chickasha surrounded by lots of beautiful farming country.

You made sure this picy was 110% on topic Troy & it's composed so well too, great shot mate.

such detail - looks really nice! I like your processing as it seems to fit the earthy concrete topic. Penny Sreet

Ah smart, you are going to the source of all the concrete Troy. All those who wondered what makes cement concrete should look right there in your yellow train car for an example.

Lots a concrete here and a great train too, but I think this could use a bit of PP! :-D I tried adjusting Shadows/Highlight, contrast, levels, and saturation to bring out the blacks and all the colors, and I think it worked well. I also tried a b&w gradient and that looked good too. Massive grain elevator - where is this? CJ

Thanks tv

All that concrete overwhelms even the hugeness of the railroad engine. Heavy stuff. -tv
