Post-Processing:
Adjust levels and contrast. I have cloned a couple of areas to remove distractions. USM
Extra Info:
This is one photo, not a composite. The Engineer looks so big because the engine is from the Romney Hythe & Dimchurch Railway - the smallest public railway in the world. It was opened in 1927 and runs a regular schedule of trains. There are ten of these beautiful 1/3 scale locomotives running on 15” (381mm track). You can Google RHDR for more information.

My apologies for this. As Jade suspected I was using a loaner - a notebook actually as I was away for three weeks. I was horrified when I got home and saw it on my own machine! Your comments are all appreciated.

Aha! Now I know where you went on vacation! And how Lo got the shot entered! Except didn't you fly there???
I'll bet you did the PP on someone else's monitor>hence akebono's observation!

A bit too much saturation? Lovely subject.

You cloned a couple of areas to remove distractions.
That's good.
I don't know if you are colour-blind (and I mean it seriously) but the greatest distraction in your picture is the exaggerated saturation, which by the way is a shame.
Good luck!

the engines may look small but capable of pulling 200 tons
good crop points here

Wonderful framing, perspective, and balance. Normally I'd be bothered by footless figures but here it works out o.k. My only critique would be the colour looks a little "flat" and it could be a tweak sharper though that is a purely a matter of personal taste. I like this a lot.
