It was a gray day at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, MD. When scrolling through the menu choices for selective color, I wondered why anyone would choose yellow. Well, I found out why. This image is not that much different from what I saw. Yes, the yellow is bumped up a bit but it's not that far from reality.

I like it, JBTaylor.
The yellow is nicely standing out and ..almost adds more to the 'expression' that this piece of machinery has on the front. (It's almost like a square face)
Thanks for sharing, railroad machinery are always interesting and worth looking closely.

Re: Selective Color
Thanks for the thoughtful comments Yildiz.
A few more for you.
Building on the same concept, I decided to use the raw file and just desaturate (the images above are a jpeg effects setting). It gives you an idea about the color profile while still favoring a B&W perspective.

These are very spectacular, JBTaylor.
The selective yellow works for this subject just fine. I like all but the crane and its bouncing yellow hooks and the stairs up to the wagon's landing steal the attention. I love the sign of warning though, which reminds us of how dangerous these transport vehicles are while they are 'living' proof of the transport technology on rails; consideration for fragile human life while heavy with metal that can be perceived as a monster, metaphorically.
Thanks for sharing with us... : )
