The point of view you selected gives this piece an abstract feel.
Nice one.

I particularly like the spokes and the shadow of the wheel balancing each other. The treatment and b&w really bring out the metal.

I thought this Canon looked familiar. I don't think I posted any of my pics of it from when I was in Albuquerque, though. Topaz really works well as a pre-treatment for a b/w conversion. Brought out lots of nice detail. I see a lot of folks using Nik Silver Efex. I might have to give it a try.

This is a super cool shot. Love the shadows; b&w is perfect for this. Well done!
