The combination of bright sunlight, a dark footplate and steam generated this image.
The over exposure of the drivers face and the swirling steam gives the impression of a ghostly figure at the controls.

Love it too John ... like the effect you created.
Bert

looks great, makes you think of the good old days, almost expect fred dibnah to be in there somwhere(if he was still alive that is)

Great set up, the swirls give this a great atmosphere.

Amazing where imagination can lead you. Very creative and a nice job.

It does have a very ethereal look, almost like an image from the past.

A superb shot. A nice reminder of the good old days, plenty of steam, smoke and soot.

It looks like a movie special effect where the viewer is looking into the past through a time portal!

Very atmospheric shot. Can almost feel the heat. The characters look almost hand drawn
