I think I know the single line system, been on the Boot to Ravenglass "Ratty". Not a bad photo. If pushed, I would lighten up the left third a little. There are many ways of doing this in PS. Overlay gradients, dodging, selective levels adjust.... Suggest you subscribe to Digital Photo magazine, their CD tutorials taught me most of what I know & practice in PS {I'm not on commission ;>}.

Hi Bev,
I read your bio, but as I've not been a member for a month, I can't send you a personal reply. If you look at the bio's of many of the people who send in railway pic's, they like me, are rediscovering railway photography because of new technology. Frankly I use photography as a means to an end and not an end in itself and it simply got boring. So as one of the contributors said,"all I know about cameras is the round glass bit points to the front and the square glass bit is at the back !" I'm very much in that mould.
Whils't critisism is welcome and very helpful, I hope you will interpret it in the context of what YOU think is a good picture, otherwise you'll just be reproducing yet another railway pic' that we've seen thousands of times before.
I strongly believe that the new technolgy has blown the percieved wisdom of what is a good picture completely out of the water. So we desperately need a new approach to reinvigorate our hobby, that's why I think it's great you're submitting your pictures, and hope the other ladies who have contributed also carry on, particularly our American cousins. In the USA there are still many of the world's most spectacular opportunities to get great railway pictures !
