Nice. As someone else said, it seems a little brighter than I'd prefer. A slightly flatter perspective to the subject might also have been a plus. Godfrey On Jan 28, 2009, at 4:20 AM, Brian Walters wrote: http://www.blognow.com.au/PESO/118084/Pistons_and_Gears.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss

I love this shot, especially its colour palette. The highlights are a tad bright for my taste, I'd prefer to see a touch more "weight" in the brighter tones, in particular the sunlit parts of the green paint and the arc of the geared wheel at the top. Nevertheless it's a winner. Regards, Anthony
