Feel the pic could do with a bit more punchy contrast but steam engines are great! Love all the bits, the brass dials and handles, the pipework etc. and when you go to these rallies you come back peppered in tiny bits of soot! At the last one i saw a girl in a white dress and heels wandering around the showground...

I would be inclined to increase the contrast as well, but it is a pleasing image of an attractive subject!

I think the biggest challenge about some of these fairs is distractions in the background - sometimes you'd wish they'd pay more attention for photographers

That's exactly the problem Azz, when i was at one recently (and at a recent car show) they were all tightly packed and distracting backgrounds.

I agrre it needs a bit more punch, but still a nice shot.
