To be honest, I probably wouldn't have thought about the mono if I hadn't seen some of your work with railway engines!

Lovely work. Crisp and clean.

I hadn't planned to post this but having seen Ryewolf's shot of the same engine I thought I would show my perspective. I took it last Friday at Sheringham in Norfolk. It is impossible to see these magnificent machines without pointing your camera at them.

Glorious part of the world, beautifully captured. You seem to have got the most out of what may have been a somewhat uninspiring sky too.

Ha ha - could be a poster for a 1950s Hammer horror film. Great work.

Really striking images. Can't pick the best - love 'em both.

Love the wings - great shot.

Yes Kate, took me ages to get those birds to line up neatly!

Just had another go, whacking the 'dehaze' slider up high - this is the result, bit better I think, thanks - also leveled up the horizon.

Thanks Korky - be nice to blame Lightroom but it is probably my own sloppy editing! Thanks John. I wrestled with the sky for a while. There was a few patches of blue but the 15 sec exposure gave the clouds too much time to cover it up. Short of importing a bit of sky from another photo I'm not sure what else I could do.

A few long exposure efforts.

Just checked it in Lightroom and you are correct, there is a slight dip to the left - well spotted!

Lovely work, Dennis.

Revisiting North Norfolk, second year running.

Really striking composition. The lone figure sets it off beautifully.
