Comments: 2007 Creative Photography Awards

Runner Up: Steve Crise, Pamona, California

Cropped tightly to exclude any background and with absolutely flat perspective, the photographer captures the strong graphic image of the front of a locomotive in fresh paint with bold stripes. What makes the photo memorable are the two human figures providing both scale and a feeling for the machine. Yes, reach out and touch it. What makes it work, how much can it pull, what does it weigh, how much does it cost? A new generation becomes fascinated with rail born machines.
