Another superb creation from you! Congrats on the 10th, but in my heart, it is much higher.

Well done indeed.

Excellent subject and good use of selective desat. A bit grainy, but suitable. Did you try sepia? 8

Really like this picture, must have taken a while to fine this wagon (especially since they travel so slowely, ok just kidding). However, I enjoyed viewing this picture. Keep up the good work.

Nice composition. Did you desat all but the yellow here? It's the only thing that don't look right. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it. Also the yellow on the top right corner is kinda distracting/detracting. If you didn't desat all but the yellow, this would be a great candidate for a b/w treatment!

Wonderful photo! Love the angle of composition, and the overall composition. Nice detail in the shadows... (though I would love to see a wee more inside the coach window). Great choice of toning, and highlighting the lettering with yellow was an excellent touch. Terrific focusing, which gave great texture in the details. One of my favorites in this challenge!

this is a beautiful shot, and a great use of desat. I really like the angle you've chosen, and gotten some fantastic contrast and clarity. The only problem I have with it is.. the modern tile surface ;) You needed to hitch this baby to your back and drag it to a desert or grasslands!

Great use of history brush (or whatever you used to recolour the wagon), gives it a very "antique" feel.
