Thanks for really looking at it, Leo! This was taken at a model train show which had lighting that seemed good until you tried to take a picture and too many people milling around to use a tripod. Therefore, ISO1600 and hand held. Thanks for your comments! ~Sharon
Excellent color, and detail. I like the strong contrast and very nice lighting which accents the metallic quality. Framing could be better... wish the bottom of the wheel were not chopped. I wonder about the ISO1600... hand held? This is a fun image to explore. -- Leo
Thanks, Mary Anne and Traveller! Yes, they are model trains, the big wheel is probably about three inches in diameter. These were taken at a big model train show. It's hard to make things so small look like "heavy metal"! ~Sharon
Like Mary Anne, I love the subtle shadings of copper and gold and dark in this image. What a lovely capture. These are Model Trains, aren't they? Best Wishes, Traveller
