Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Aged Machine
This image is one I'm quite pleased with, but it almost made the scrap heap (if you don't like what I've done please say so - I appreciate all feedback - in fact feel free to offer up your take on the shot - clicking the original image takes you to a larger version).
So anyway I was quite interested in this particular piece of equipment on the Cockatoo Island shoot, but the light was bad and I was damned if I could get the white balance right. I came back to the shot several times and played with it to no avail. Finally one step before I deleted it I decided to have a go at a black & white treatment. Despite never having intended this as a monochrome (well sepia toned) shot I'm happy with the result. This is the original image  and this is the final version  Peter

Re: Aged Machine
Very nice processing Peter. The final image makes the machinery more nostalgic and more 'at home'.
Re: Aged Machine
I like what you have done with this Peter. The lighting conditions certainly look harsh in the original shot. The result looks like you took a photo of print made 100 years ago, and I think it looks great.

Re: Aged Machine
The second is more exciting, visually. You introduced grain, made it monocromatic and added vigneting. I like it!
Re: Aged Machine
 with what's been said so far, I would even try a little more sepia.__________
