Snow Throwing Engine HSS

            Can you just imagine this rotary snow plow running the tracks of the Sierra Mountains on a full moon night clearing the tracks of mounds of snow while the trains following chug along to get to their destination? The engineer looking feverishly for any sign of a bolder that may be hiding under the new snow or in the avalanche that had covered the tracks. Taken at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, California. Isolated the train and ground in Photoshop and turned the sky and distracting area around the outer side to grey to allow emphasis on the train and rotary blades, then converted the train except the blades to black and white in Photoshop, further adjustment sliders in Topaz black and white, Topaz glow to get some highlights on the train and ground like it was a full moon night, used Topaz Restyle to obtain the tint of night and some minor adjustments in Photoshop for Slider Sunday……….
