Default Train Museum desperate effort

I was very disappointed with my efforts from the Sacramento Railroad Museum and the Worldwide Photo Walk event, but I tried to make something of this one to add some impact to it. I am reasonably happy with it. Thanks for checking it out. Let me know if it works.

I think it looks pretty nice. Looks like it would have been tuff going shooting in there. You did good.

I like it. Old vs new, steam engine vs diesel, b/w vs color...

Great shot. I like the B/W mixed with colour it adds a new angle to the photo.

I think considering the conditions you had this is fantastic. I love the selective coloring here. It fits well given the subject matter. Nice recovery!

I'd be delighted with it.

I like that you've compared the old and the new and the selective colouring works well, good job

I also like the selective coloring emphasizing old vs new. I think you made a very wise choice!

Considering how crowded that place must be, the selective coloring was a smart thing to do. I also liked the flare from the light bulb that adds to the overall composition.
