Crazy, Man! I love it, Pat! Love your POV, wonderful blur and movement.

I've also been working on a train shot the last few days for a Christmas present for my brother-in-law. His father was 87 and just passed away. Years ago he was an engineer and the original train is on display at Centennial Park in Nashville, TN. The only problem, the train has a cover over it for protection. I took a picture of the train, removed the background and cover and placed the train in a fall scene. I added a blur to the wheels to give a feeling of movement. I want to print it for my brother-in-law for a gift. #5064570
