A strange shaped building. The reflections of it give the picture more depth. I like it.

Now this one I did miss, fantastic pov Alan, the reflected winding gear really adds to the image. The little puff of smoke from the steam engine and the hazyness over the distant trees really gives that industrial feel. Bravo!!!!!
