The Magic of Steam

This is another view of the old steam engine from yesterday's image. I love old engines, but it is sad to think that steam will probably never again flow through these old pistons. These parts of the train were all painted gloss black. I used an HDR-type treatment and several stages of processing to bring out the tones and textures in this image.
