This is mighty fine, and as an example of 35mm work, even better than your other entry.

W.I.O. Moffat

A fine dramatic shot which I find most attractive. The lack of grain is very commendable and I particularly like the dark sky with the lovely white steam.

W.J.V. Anderson

This reminds me of your entry in the last folio. Again, I like the tonal range and the way you have preserved your whites. Very good 35mm technique. (By the way, why will some critics persist in saying "definition is good for 35mm", or "a good 35mm shot"? Definition is either good or bad regardless of negative size).

S. Rickard

Surely, this wasn't the L'Pool-Glasgow with a 'Princess' as the train engine - more likely to be the Birmingham-Glasgow. I look at this as an "impressionist" picture, and as such it most certainly comes off - it has got Shap beautifully.

E. Treacy

This is really excellent, but I would like another ½" in the foreground. The ganger's hut is a menace, as I expect most of us have found at one time or another.

G.W. Morrison

This is good. We do not often manage such dramatic effects as this - quite the best effect of smoke and steam we have seen for some time. Well done!
