Great contest!

WOW, this image packs a punch. The steam coming from the locomotive has given this image depth and impact. The more unusual and less photographed area of the locomotive caught my eye. The composition is lovely and you have managed to capture it pin sharp and with superb detail too. A very nice image, well done.

I really like how you have shot this image with the lighter silver rods of the locomotive to the bottom. They keep you in the image and lead you nicely and around it. Despite this being a darker section of the locomotive you have captured a lot of detail. With the image being in black and white you have used this darkness to your advantage to add impact. A great image, well done.

The rods going around this image add impact and focus and hold you in. The composition is lovely and you have managed to capture it pin sharp and with superb detail too. Every time I look at your image I see a new part I hadn't seen before. A cracking image, well done.

This is one of those images which grabs you in and wont let go. The dark appearance of the image grabs your attention and then the rods and other elements keep you. You have captured a great level of detail at the same time which is amazing. The image is pin sharp and has great composition too. Well done.

This is a great black and white close up shot of a steam locomotive. Despite this shot being of a darker section of the locomotive the detail you have managed to capture is beautiful. Having taken the shot in black and white has allowed you to be more creative too. The whole image is wonderfully composed and the angle you have chosen is amazing too. It is also pin sharp. A very worthy winner, congratulations.

This is a cracking close up shot of a steam locomotive. Your image caught my eye as you have chosen a more unusual and less photographed area of the locomotive. The composition is great and you have managed to capture it pin sharp and with superb detail too. I like how the text is on the slant as it stops the image looking posed. A very nice image, well done.

Brief

See more contest details

For this contest I am looking for your close-up photos of railway steam locomotives, so only those that run on a track. I am not looking for images of the full locomotive, just a close-up shot of part of the locomotove. This is a chance to be creative with how you take your image and where you take your image from, as well as what you exclude from the shot. Images can be in colour or black and white. Creativity will be rewarded.
