Locomotive Steam Power

Roanoke, Virginia was once a major hub for the Norfolk And Western Railroad and later the Norfolk And Southern Railroad. Those times have passed but the Transportation Museum in Roanoke has worked to preserve the memories of this history. The museum has a number of steam locomotives and other railroad memorabilia among it's collection of display exhibits. Always a fun visit and a great place to take kids and in my case a grandson.

I am at a loss for words to describe how incredible this is. The combination of light control, perfect range of tones brought out by your capture and processing and well designed composition make this a stunning masterpiece. I especially like how well the subtle sheen and other metallic surface features are rendered. ~VVV~
