Beautiful photo!

Almost does not look real or does not look like Oregon. WOW!

I agree, doesn't look like Oregon! This is much too pretty for that, I love the rainbow of colors and the bright green. This is beautiful in thumbnail version, with the gentle curve of the locomotive and it enveloped in this incredible beauty. Great capture!

AWESOME photo, Randy, and congrats on the Screener's Choice! OK, you mention poison oak twice, so I have to ask... how bad did you get into it?? Hopefully, not too bad.

Great shot, splendid colours

Excellent. High marks Randy for your electronic darkroom skills. And guys, Oregon is beautiful -- the magnificent coast line, the Cascades, the rivers, the waterfalls, the lakes, the forests, and, of course, the trains.

Wow, what an image! Congrats on the SC. I was thinking it should be... and then I discovered it is! Just FANTASTIC.

Randy, you have just verified why the Columbia River Gorge is my favorite place in the state I live in! Incredible contrast in so many ways.

I sure hope it was worth the trip through the poison oak!! Well done!

Excellent shot Randy, I notice a rainbow in your photograph just above the train, colours are a bit faint but you can make it out.

Congrats on the POTW! That makes two POTW from Oregon in 2010...

Beautiful photo. Kinda reminds me of s snake slithering through the grass for some reason.

Glad you caught a great moment in the CRG. Nice light and good use of shadows and highlights to make the lighting more dramatic than it already was.

Thanks to everyone for your comments, I am glad so many of you enjoyed the photo. Standing out in the cold and the rain was worth it for this shot. It's been a week now, and it appears that I may have evaded the dreaded poison oak ... :)

Very nice scene!

The faint rainbow in the background above the water really helps. Congratulations on getting the trifecta.

I'm a fan!
Posted by A.J. Gonfiantini on June 16, 2010 
WOW! I can't even explain how cool I think this shot is!

I still look back at this shot and think about how awesome it is. The mood, the rainbow, the color, the train, the river, the fields, the curve, the mountains, the mist, everything comes together to make a top tier shot that is rivaled by few on this site. I'd put it in the top 10.
