    Nice one, Kevin. I do think it might benefit from a little more aggressive PP treatment....pump up the saturation and contrast just a bit.

    Thanks for the comments everyone! I went back and reworked it some Tom. Is this along the lines of what you are talking about?

    Oh yea, Kevin.....big improvement. thumb.gif

    A funny thing about rust....it likes to be heard, it loves to talk. You accommodate its needs by giving it the saturation, contrast, sharpening, etc. that lets it express itself. Sometimes, it only takes a little tweaking to get it right. Other times, you really have to get aggressive with the PP treatment in order to let the rust really sing. It's been my experience, though, that, in ALL cases, some manipulation is necessary in order to let loose the dynamics of rust. In MOST cases, the manipulation needs to be fairly robust to get maximum impact and presentation.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Thanks Tom! You're right. Rust does need that extra oomph. That's what I like about this place. Someone is always willing to give you hand to improve yourself. And with that another Rust Junkie is born. I'm off to see whatI can find. Thanks again everyone!
