Here is the original photograph of a steam train running down the line through the woodlands. It was taken very quickly, as I had only a moments warning that it was coming. I ran across to an open area of trees so that I could get to it with as clear a shot as possible. This train was going downhill so it wasn't working hard so I didnt get a shot of lots of steam. The train was coming at approx. 50mph so I was very pleased to get such a clear image.

Here I used the
Invert tool to swap the colours around. I then put the
saturation levels right up to get this effect. To me it gives the feeling of warmth. The hot engine has darker colours and the steam is given a colour that to me represents heat and power. The colder surroundings are blue which gives the feeling of cold shrubery. If i saw this image in a gallery, I would say it was created to represent a sense of atmosphere and feeling that the train has a purpose steaming through its surroundings.
