The flame and smoke need to be done with media and the sky needs a
little something more to it, but it is a nice compisition.

Is that supposed to be a flame?  I thought it was something gold!

I really like the non-traditional design of the train.  Perhaps a close-up?
Overall, the image looks very crisp and well placed but I have to agree with
Josh's comments.  Media would really help the smoke, and a few clouds in the
sky wouldn't hurt.  Did you write all the macros?

It looks like one of the ornamental "crowns" that they used to put on 
steam engines...

Stylized look to it.  I wouldn't say media is always the answer if you think
of the artistic expression aspect.  Although a larger starting size out of
the funnel would be good.  The steam is also a bit dark, should be mostly
white with a blueish tint to parts I believe.

I've never seen an ornamental crown, but I've seen very few trains, also,
so I read it to be a flame.

Oops.

Take a look at the winning entry on the IRTC for the "First Contact"
category. Really good dense smoke on that one...

The smoke definitely needs work...more transparence, and more spheres 
should help. Maybe also fade_distance, and you will need to increase 
max_trace_level.
Also, they should come out of the funnel in an upward jet, not just 
trickling out, and it would help if they came from an area, not a single 
point, so it looks like the smoke is blowing out of the funnel.

that's right.  at the speeds old trains moved, the upward force of the
smoke was enough to have the stream go straight up for a short
distance.  in fact, the backward movement of the smoke was mostly only
perceptual.  what really happened was the smoke would shoot up, and the
train would move along, leaving a trail behind it.  of course, wind had
an effect on smoke travel, but only after the above considerations.

I like the smoke the way it is... Striving to make computer images look
"real" sometimes looses the quality a CGI can achieve... Personally i
like a more cartoon style with more imagination than a photo realistic
",

I do agree the overall path of the smoke could improve w/ a curve up and
extend across w/ a slight rise... Unless it were standing still in the
wind... My first impression ...=)

Where are the tracks...?)

Very nice, but I'd like to know why there were cries for you to use media 
in the smoke trail.  It's fine as it is (IMO, of course) and wouldn't 
have the same semi-cartoon feel if the smoke was media based.

Just my two pennorth.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

You can get this effect with a simple particle system...you don't even 
need my particle_system patch, something this simple can easily be coded 
in POV-Script. I will be working on an example of this...

unusual.
