very nice photo. perfect shadows too.

I take it that's the before shot.

(for those not following today's news ... Miss Deaf Texas was macked by a freight train while she was text messaging her family while stupidly standing on the tracks. I strongly suspect that the death will ultimately be ruled a suicide once someone realizes that deaf people can still FEEL a freight train coming.)

NBN, excellent shot. The false black and white seems less ... I dunno, warm? than film B&W.

Excellent......as usual.
Any fires down your way?

The B&W looks like moonlight.

"As the train approached, they sounded the horn and got no response," Austin police Detective David Fugitt told the Austin American-Statesman. "They activated the emergency brakes but were unable to stop in time."
Fugitt said he is not sure whether McAvoy would have felt vibrations from the train.
The train was hauling a fleet of cars from Mexico to St. Louis.

I'm not sure if vibrations would transmit through a gravel train bed and be noticable over the shifting of the gravel beneath her feet.

As for the pictures, they are very nice. It reminds me of the stuff I used to see in Life magazine.
