Nice shot Ed.
Having worked with railway signals all my working life, it's good to see a gantry like this,
. . . and the deer of course.

He looks mean and moody, I hope he didn't get any closer !
Great shot.

Great shot.

Thanks, I think he might be a little hungry.

If you were drugged and woke up with a huge orange ear ornament, you'd be in an unpleasant mood as well

Maui wild kid. Again, an ambush shot after seeing him playing behind some rocks on the Eastern end of the island.

Miami at night is beautiful!

allachie9 · 07-16-2015, 12:42 PM

Alex, I love that shot of the Maui wild kid.
It looks almost as though you caught him in the act of doing something he shouldn't.

I love the Miami night shot DDK. A fantastic range of colours, especially the green on the left side paving.
Personally I would have been tempted to get rid of the flare top right hand corner.
But hey, it's your image and it's a cracker !

allachie9 · 07-16-2015, 01:04 PM

Here's 'Caley 828'.
Former Caledonian Railways 0-6-0 locomotive number 828, leaving Broomhill Station on the Strathspey Steam Railway line.
828 was built in 1899 and still going strong after 116 years.

Love the hint of a Tron motorcycle blazing by on the right side, David. Great image.

Nicely done processing, Alan. Frameable.

the slight bending of the light trails really does look like tron. Also, am i reading this right and the x6m has been replaced with an e93?

druu · 07-16-2015, 04:36 PM

It's a shame i'm only going 50 when its this empty though.

Yeah man, X6M has been gone almost a year, since September '14. Casualty of divorce

Got the E93M about 2 months ago now that divorce is final and I'm rebuilding and getting back on my feet.

I'd buy another X6M in an instant, I loved that car!

Thank you, appreciate it! I am in love with this image myself, and want to print it large for my own wall. So overdue for some new prints!

That flare is actually a street light right outside the edge of the field of view; I felt like it added a bit of character the way the light ended up protruding into the scene

Thanks Mark appreciate it! Yeah I am not sure how those trails got there, must have been a car going left from the right lane at the last minute or something.

----------

Here's another, different location, same night -- a different view of Miami from across the water on Rickenbacker Causeway, which leads to Key Biscayne. This one is much more "landscapey" than "cityscapey"

Wow, right down in the dirt. Nicely done.

Thanks David, I can see this myself as a very large canvas.
I also take your point regarding the flare. As I said earlier, it's your image and it's a real cracker.
Well done.
