Very cool shot Allan! I love the comp with the way the trains seem to be coming out at you. Very nice! How did you upgrade the sky? -K #171653Carolyn M. Fletcher September 23, 2004

Terrific shot, Allan! I love your style of Altering and Combining Images and Applying Special Effects to them. Your descriptions.....wow! Always cool...a real pleasure... Keep up the great work, my friend. #799149Allan L. Whitehead September 23, 2004
Thaqnk you very much Carolyn and Kelly for the sppreciated comments and kind words, my dear friends - your good friend, AllanKelly, as the sky was bland and washed out that day, I added in a layer of a clouded sky after deleting the original. Then I put the tracks and trains on another layer, then I used a 'motion blur' in the entire picture, and then brought the new sky layer in behind everything and the 'tracks and trains' layer in front of everything else - Allan #799152
