Post-Processing:
Crop. Increase blur in the background. Adjust clarity from RAW. Filter Topaz clean. Reduced the size of the worker on the right side. Straightened.
Extra Info:
Loco 1201 4-6-2. Forced into retirement as it is too expensive to renovate. Built in 1944 and used for steam train excursions after her regular service ended. I originally intended to take a shot showing the beautiful curves on the face of the engine but then they cleared to crowd off the tracks and I was able to get this one clear shot with the curved rails leading up to the engine before I was ushered off the tracks too.

A beautiful shot of a classic steam engine, with lovely curved leading lines. B&W really pops the detail int he engine.

Several curves there. In my favorites.

very nice image... the engine pop's with this lighting and focusing... in my favorites... have you considered a vignette to help fade out the workers and keep point of interest on the tracks and engine?...

Good choice of black and white and nice contrast of shapes and tones.
To isolate the engine more I might have cloned out the right-most crewmember, possibly even cropped out the crowd - but that might have impacted on the curve of the rails

I think the train really dominates this image and not the curved tracks. Great shot of the train though! Also, the blurred background looks a little unnatural against the people.
