Snowdon Mountain Railway

Nigel Matthews says: Second in Welsh Narrow Gauge Railways Flickr Group, Photo Challenge 12 ~ Snowdon Mountain Railway. Excellent composition and presentation. A wide depth of field is required for such a brave composition and the focus - especially of the foreground coach side - is spot on. The mountain path creating a lead in line is a great touch as the eye is drawn to the train in the distance which is dwarfed by the scenery. Great lighting and colours round this off.

Nigel Matthews says: Third in Welsh Narrow Gauge Railways Flickr Group, Photo Challenge 12 ~ Snowdon Mountain Railway. This is the sort of composition I was hoping for. The timing of the shot is perfect as the track is obscured a moment before or after. The off centre positioning shows great planning and this shot scored top marks for composition. The colour and lighting is a little flat IMHO as otherwise this would have won.

Nigel Matthews says: Great colour and composition, except for the windmill projecting from the cab roof! Exceptionally good exposure and focus. Good use of telephoto to create impact.

Nigel Matthews says: Good composition with strong lead in lines. Timing and focus spot on. Brighter lighting would have scored this more highly in the Welsh Narrow Gauge Railways Flickr Group photo challenge on the wow factor as the colours are a little muted IMHO.

Nigel Matthews says: Good composition showing the rugged terrain with good lead in line. Subject possibly a little too small. Focus reasonable with good depth of field.

Nigel Matthews says: A rare front shot of a Snowdon Mountain Railway engine. Nice composition, lighting spot on and in focus. Good use of telephoto. A little more contrast in the background would improve this IMHO.

Nigel Matthews says: I like to composition - good shot of the shed area. Though a shame about the skip! Good exposure, though let down a little by the focus IMHO.
