Crossing

[mbrager]

Thanks so much for the comments and compliments. I twirled this shot around for about a week before deciding that it had to be black and white with selective color. Color version has a lot of green, obviously and wasn't appealing to me. The rail cars are varying shades of metal, but the processing evens them all out. So the focus became the power of the engines coming at me pulling that load through the red cross and light. Here's a quickly processed color version, for JAS.

Thanks, Mike! The B&W definitely shows off this photo to its best advantage.

Yup dig the BW and selective colour here as well - it beats the colour version bigtime imo.

Cheers, JAS and Marko.

There is no contest. the B&W one for sure.

Definitely selective colour shot, and very well done on that Mbrager.
