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. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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.

Great subject and angle. There is a question that must be asked about that chain and how it got to be in that position, and that's what your photo is asking me.

However, i think it would look even better in B&W with a bit of grain. My personal preference for photos of this type is to give it the Ansell Adams treatment and make it into a statement of the filth of industry, rather than the curiosity of the chain.

But, it's a great image either way. nice work.
Steve.

Thanks for your comments.

I do most of my stuff in B&W and am just enjoying a bit of colour. I recognise the mix of subjects eg the chain which I honestly didnt see until i 'developed' it.

I really like industry and would want to portray it as 'tough' but not something depressing.

I am sorry I am flying tonight between marking 40 papers, driving to the Gong for Vienna Boys Concert (my son is singing with them) and driving back to Sydney this evening at 11.30. I would like to discuss more.

Again I like your take on this and I will hopefully will give more of a direct message in my next industrial shot. This time of year is so brilliant for contrasty shots.

Thanks
