 First challenge since 2009. That is a lot of years in between. I was shooting in the factory I manage and really liked this capture. This is my first real shooting since 2010ish, and my first time playing with my new Z7ii. I was relatively pleased with the results. Improvements to come.

There must be a glitch. The Critique Club queue gave me my own image to comment on.

From a pure aesthetic standpoint, this image is like textbook-level industrial photography. I saw the editorial usefulness immediately, but to me this is the sort of first-rate stock image that can be used in many different storytelling contexts. A real achievement in my book!
