Nice shot. i love old bits of machinery like that.

I would also like to see a B&W version. I think it would suit the age of the subject.
 
I'm also not too sure on the bottom left. I think it's just the little area of the ground in the corner standing out, being as there's no other similar plain area?
It's a nice image anyway and as a plus, one of those that has huge potential for buggering about with in a variety of ways to make a few very different 'looks': something you can get all arty with if that's your thing :)
I love the variety and levels of corrosion, different textures and tones on a range of shapes :)

thanks Mike
your comment about different ways has me thinking...and of course i chickened out on the b>w but i will do one for critique...as i know there are forumites here who can do it better and put it on the OP
cheers

Too OTT?
A little cropping, upped the saturation a tad, then threw in a bit sharpening to bring out the texture.

Now dont get me wrong here, but rust is many, many shades of red! Not white or black or silver or grey.
Thats why I prefer the colour version. Nothing wrong with the mono ones, (perhaps a tad oversharpened G?)
Rust is red, red chaps!
Of course this is just my personal view!

(y) absolutely Barry...that is what appealled to me as i saw the subject...but on this forum you have to be able to produce a b>w or you get a telling off...:LOL:
the oversharpening was adding some texture...obviously i should have perhaps subtracted some..:bang:
cheers
