Straight out of camera. Did you notice that slight aberation of the sensor dust? It looks like a band-aid acting like it were a cloud or something :) Post processing includes frame and save for web.
Great compostition, entry and exit of your subject are well balanced, both focus your eyes inward. For some reason I fixated on the lighting rod. Was the sun just off frame left of center? Aside from the 'band-aid', the arcing cloud on the right seems odd, like perhaps flare. If you're using a polar filter for this, check to make sure the internal surfaces are black.
I think you've got great lines and composition here, but the depth of tonal range and visual perception are not all that they could be IMHO. I think you could bump up the depth in tones with variation in lighting/exposure settings and burning and in then in again in contrast/color sat variations. I also think you could really increase the viability of the shot by dodging some of the darker areas and leveling out some of the existing contrast. just my 2 cents - I'm happy to provide change... :-) It's a great shot as is - don't get me wrong!
great rich colors in the rust and sky. the "band-aid" is a little distracting. i love that half of the sky is clouded (or steamed) and the other half is basically clear. it adds a great energy and composition element to the shot. nice, rich shot. well done!
This is my favorite. Great deep rich tones on the sky and metal (I love rusty stuff and this is A LOT of rust) Great composition and I like the fact that the sky is natural, looks great - into my favorites
