Ed (and others), to briefly continue with this story with reference to my Harpers Ferry posted image a few posts above, I'll refer to the link posted at end of this description which briefly discusses and contains historical images, how this single Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Civil War era rail line was eventually divided into at least two lines via bridges in both the 1800's and early 1900's (also with the addition of a tunnel bored through the hillside). This created separate rail subdivisions, each originally run by the B&O railway. Nearly 100 years later, this historic railroad (B&O) was consolidated with other freight rail companies into what is now the CSX freight service railway. At roughly the same time, passenger rail service in the U.S. also was consolidated into what is known as "Amtrak". Amtrak currently shares the CSX rail bed in and around Harpers Ferry and elsewhere) and one can often view alternating types of trains rolling through Harper's Ferry and its associated station throughout the day.Very interesting - I love a picture with a back-story!
Would love to know if the current railway bridge (that crosses the river) represents an alternative on what is essentially the same route, or if the line that the old brige was on has entirely vanished into history.
Very nice Mat. The OCD part of me wishes you could make the flags on the right side of the bridge blow in the opposite direction. :loco:

Too much? No way, it looks perfect and natural.A reworked image from Glacier National Park taken from Going to the Sun Road. I'm experimenting with some of the Nik software. Maybe too much? 645D, 45-85mm.

It is a rather subjective question. I think if I were trying this (and I don't have the image, so it is hard to tell), I might have let the shadows go toward black. I think that might add depth to the valley by emphasizing where the light is pooling in the trees. But I have never been bothered by having deep shadows, others are more sensitive to shadow detail. But a great image regardless.Maybe too much?
It's a nice pictures but I do think you're right to question it - I think it's too much. If you saw this in real life it would be jaw dropping.

Tom, thanks. I must admit, I have adjusted very well to this eternal summer. Although, today was cold: temps only reached the low 60s! (cue violins) My wife so much prefers looking at snow on the TV.I hope you're enjoying FL; winter, at this point, is getting a bit old up here.
