Well done :)
Outstanding totaly convincing I would swear it was a photograph!! You are amazing buddy!!
Great realism!
Beautiful -- and (having hiked many hours along railroad tracks through the years), I have to say that the grade and junk among the weeds is quite authentic.
Kenwas, I can feel the heat as this great travel behemoth drinks in water for the leg leg in its long journey! Plants, steam, gravel, and sky so real one expects the trains engineer to walk by any moment . . . Brilliant Artwork!!!
it looks awesome... I love those tracks.
My gosh, this is phenomenal work. Fabulous image.
Alot of fun,and it looks pretty to:D
A great creation.....
Fantastic creation!
excellent detail and realism here! very beautiful work. Ken! :)
Cool! And trash by the trainyard doesn't hurt my heart as much as trash by the sea. :)
Excellent! The smoke and the trash in the grass add to the realism.
The smoke looks supeb!
I am having lots of problems distinguishing this Vue masterpiece from Photography. 5+. Vue rules.
Awesome! looks like a picture. I like the trash throw around...nice details.
Well done... I thought I was looking at a photo for a moment, too
excellent! I like the little touches as well.
Gone are the days of the old Berthas. I still remember them from back in the forties when I was a kid ...thanks for the memories Ken; this is outstanding work.
Wow, this is fantastic! I just finished doing some research on the Union Pacific "Big Boys" as these were called. They were some of the biggest and certainly the most legendary of all the steam locomotives. Two of these engines in tandem set records for a load aproximately 7 miles long (or so they say)! This artwork really does them justice. Well done.
This is SO realistic it is amazing! Right down to the litter in the grass. And love all that steam coming out of Bertha. Great work. CC
Excellent render and POV! Most of all I like the steam, very realistic indeed!!
Brilliantly done as always Ken! The steam looks very realisitc as well as the grass and the litter beside the track - bravo! :)
Big Bertha - oh man. Martial. But excellently done, no question. I as well thought about doing steam this way. Cool image.
Aww Ken your images are just fantastic these days! Wonderful job here! I especially like the steam and the details here. Well done!
Stunning realism... you can nearly feel the heat and listen the noises. Excellent work!
