Nice tones and an interesting composition. Just a little too much motion blur / camera shake to keep the critical portion of the image sharp.

I think you tried to over sharpen this creating a lot of noise throughout the photograph.

Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that contributes to the challenge

I like your chosen viewpoint and the use of the wide angle lens to emphasise the immense power of the working end of the machine. The viewpoint and the angle have enabled you to create something unique and quite powerful. There is some good detail of the metal that show its working scars and that this is a working ‘beast’. However, that same detail is not consistent throughout the image there is a definite imbalance between the sharper left and soft right but what also disturbs me are the linear striations of the shadow areas throughout, it somewhat resembles image noise but at your working ISO it quite clearly is not.

The more I look at this image the more I like it. Great use of light and shadow, good framing, and the brown tones are perfect for the rustic setting. Front page potential IMHO. 7
