I think this would look great in HDR

Steaming right at us, great shot Jim.

Very cool framing and I love that background. There is something so appealing about train images... I love that this one is a steam engine. Thanks for sharing!

I've never tried HDR, but I suspect you are probably right. Thanks for looking. Jim

I can just hear a haunting steam whistle off in the distance. Not a sound like it. Nice shot. I might be tempted to crop off some of the right side but it's great the way it is too.

Thanks!! The background is a small portion of the tailings from a copper, gold and silver mine. And the colors in the tailings are true. Jim

So glad you are enjoying the RV life and traveling in this wonderful country. So much to see Jim and getting away from the normal is good therapy.

Great shot that embodies the power of the old steam engine. Takes me back to memories as a kid growing up.
Also, your title reminds me of the "live steam" quote from the movie Sand Pebbles...

Thanks! This shot makes me remember there was a time when "ships were made of wood, and men were made of steel".
