 Wow, a PB in a free study. Really happy with this score.

Thank you for all the comments. This is an exposure blend and then I played with multiple sharpening techniques and a ton of dodge and burn (thanks to a tutorial on DPC), and this is the result. I really like the image.

And yes, Grog, that funny patch of purple is a patch of flowers that I tried to lighten to pop, but it came out all wrong and it was too late to keep messing with it.

Thanks for the comments.

Sometimes overprocessing just works. This is one of those times. Really catches the eye, then draws you in for more. Lovely!

Very nice shot. Maybe even better processing. I don't get the connection with the title.

I like your use of Topaz (or similar product) here. You took a nice photo and made it really cool.

NO!!! Grog does not go willing into belly of foul, smoke spewing iron beast! Ha-ha! Grog will kill beast instead. Village will rejoice and thank Grog for freedom from beast. Leader of village will then give Grog most fertile females and fattest pigs.

Grog also thinks tonemapping is little bit overdone on sky, but if this is place where Grog thinks, then sun is rare sight. Grog also see odd purpley blotch near center of picture.

A lot of nice detail. Wish we had more passenger rail where I live!

Nice job. Those clouds are so dark and ominous.

I really like this. So much to see and the Processing really highlights it all well. (not voting)

A lovely dramatic and imposing image! I really like the lack of life in this shot. It̢۪s almost as if the place is abandoned.
