Zz's because it looks nice - nothing more, nothing less.

Was going to vote for Ivan's, but I couldn't grasp the size of the carbon footprint left by that train! :-p
 
I had to go with ZZ's too, I could almost smell it!
 
I had to go with Ivan, that is just a really really cool shot. It was very tough though, they were all so good.
 
Ivan Seeking, is your picture real? It looks like cut off from some western movie.
 
ZZ gets this one from me, Ivan's was awesome but it pains me to think of the HC PPM!
 
I went for Ivan Seeking. Loving the old fashioned look.
 
I had to go with Integral because it reminded me of the woods I used to play in during my childhood.

The thing I love about these photo competitions is that everyone likes something else! There's never an absolute winner, but the pictures I think are brilliant other people think are ok, but instead think another picture is brilliant! Got to love these comps.

What?! I lost votes because of the carbon emissions? Hey, that's not really carbon. They put these special drops in the smoke stack that makes the smoke...

Actually, they were hamming it up for the cameras - normally its not so bad. And it is obvious that much of the carbon just falls to the ground. But, frankly, though limited in numbers, they really shouldn't be allowed to run these.

Aren't those things supposed to vent steam out of that bit? :confused:
 
  • #13
ZZs pic seems to have disappeared...

Just a reminder that you have less than a day left to vote for this group, if you haven't done so already.
