 This train was stopped on the tracks right off Miracle Mile. It just so happened to have stopped right by an ice cream stand, LOL! I wanted to get a shot of the train with the ice cream stand but the bushes behind the stand wouldn't let me and the garbage cans from a side point just looked yucky.

I desaturated, adjusted the brightness and contrast, adjusted the colors to bright up the sepia tone, adjusted the brightness and contrast , then I softened it a bit and then used the lighting effect tool. There you have it. :)

the sepia/duotone works beautifully here

Nice shot. In this case I feel the sepia might actually be destracting from fhe image though. I like the framing...

I like the sepia tone a lot, but I'm not sure I would have burned the upper corners. I'm just not sure it adds anything, and it kind of pulls your focus.

Nice picture, though the lighting effect looks odd on the corners.

Nice tone & composition.
Shame about the vignetting on the upper corners.

I think this would look better in color - the old timey feel doesn't really suit the modern diesel engine, and color would show off the bright yellow and red UP paint scheme.

I really like this but it would have looked better if you had cleaned up the upper corners with clone, or cropping

The sepia and the borders don't really fit the subject.

The gradation of the upper sides is a bit distracting otherwise -- a nice photo,

Very nice shot, but I might have cloned out the vignetting on the upper corners. They are very distracting.

why the vignetting at the top corners? Very odd. Otherwise, a great shot!
