Great photo and composition! The re-edit is much better. I still think the hightlights on the top right can be toned down a little bit.

Deb, people pay money for these types of shots. I think it's perfect. My wife is Dutch and she'll probably want to purchase...

A very good photo. At first, I found the motion of the hand quite disturbing, but now I've got used to it, so it's OK, I guess. Add to it the tension of this man's face, which I still want to be without the slight blur, and I realize that something important is going on.
A comment about the title: I don't like how the old is defined based on the new, because the new will be old, and the old was new before. So, by reading the title, the new is drawn into the picture, where it doesn't belong. This image is a nice presentation of something old, where old is defined by my experience - I hope "my" will include other DPC viewers as well.

Still, a very nice presentation that refreshes the memories from history lessons at school. In a perfect world, that quite modern NHT design would be some banner for the next weeks demonstrations. Over all, I loved the bottles and the details of the machine, bolts and the arch shapes.

What a great opportunity to have stumbled upon in time for this challenge. I like the longer exposure, to show the motion of his hands.

Oh this is BEYOND SUBLIME!

This is one of those images where I think 'damn I wish I'd taken that' - GRIN Actualy Deb, your images often make me think that.

I just LOVE how you view the world and then how you present it to us - we are SO FORTUNATE to be able to witness how you see the world - THANK YOU!

I like the feather detail on this but I prefer the uncropped composition. You want to give your S-curves a chance to finish unfurling out of the frame.
