Great contest!

Another photo which caught my eye from the start. A nice colourful image with some good exhaust from the locomotive as well, capturing the movement. I liked the autumnal colours on the trees in the foreground and background as well. Thanks for entering. A worthy top ten place.

The movement is definitely well captured in this shot with the steam of the locomotive. The further away locomotive is a bit different too rather than the closer up shots you see. The locomotive further away also means you captured more of the dramatic steam. A worthy second place. Thanks for entering

Love this photo, a classic scene presumably from the Settle/Carlisle route. Well captured with the diffiicult low light conditions too, but lighting from the carriages and locomotive adds to this. Thanks for entering this photo, a worthy top ten place.

A classic West highland line scene seen here. Dramatic exhaust/steam from the locomotive in this one. The wider angle view shows all the steam/exhaust high up above the locomotive. A worthy top ten place in this contest. Thanks for entering.

Superb photo this one, dramatic steam/exhaust from both hard working locomotives following over the carriages behind as well. Good sharpness on the locomotives as well. My sort of photograph, well one I'd be happy with.
Thanks for entering. A worthy top ten photograph.

Superb light on the Pannier tank and carriages in this shot. Love the steam also with the clarity. Colour looks great too, not overdone like some. A worthy winner and a photo I would definitely be happy with if I'd have taken in. Thanks for entering.

Very dramatic shot here with the steam locomotive charging towards the photographer presumably up a gradient. Great texture in the exhaust/steam from the locomotive and great sharpness too. The zoomed in angle compresses the image down nicely. Thanks for entering. A worthy top ten place.

Something a bit different here in this entry. A well executed close up here. Lovely sharpness on the front of the locomotive as it exits the tunnel and the added steam emphasises the movement. A worthy top ten place and thanks for entering this contest.

This photo caught my eye from the beginning. A nice well captured moving shot, with the steam and the added classic semaphore signal behind. The landscape behind also adds to the scene with the hill line above. Thanks for entering the contest. A worthy top ten place.

A very dramatic photo here with the steam and all the pylons and power lines leading off into the distance. It took me a while to notice what I assume to be snowy mountains above as well. Something different in this contest. A worthy third place and thanks for entering.

In this contest I want to see your best photos of moving steam trains. The photos can be taken in any country and can be in colour or black and white. You can choose how you portray the movement but the steam train must be moving. I look forward to seeing your entries.
