Massive Rust

edited April 15, 2011 in Other Cool Shots
For several years 3-4 times a week I n my daily travels I passed an old construction yard with this dozer setting up on concrete slabs. Always said "one day I should get some pictures of this" but never had a camera with me. The other day I had my camera and finally stopped to get a few shots. After processing them and seeing how the detail shots came out, I decided to return the next day for more. When I did, the dozer had been taken away :cry I really would have kicked myself if I had not at least gotten these few shots. Hope you RJ's enjoy.

    Well, this should keep the rust junkies off the streets for a day or two. It looks like you've got the plugin that goes to 11. rolleyes1.gif

    I like the composition in 2 and the textures in 3. thumb.gif

    Great stuff here, Jack. But why so timid? That #2 is just begging for the full-blown treatment. Let the monkey out of the bag and go for it.

    BTW, I know you have to be hiding some great St. Augustine shots. Can we get a peek?

    Take care, buddy

    I don't know about that Richard. Their appetites are insatiable. :D

    #2 is definitely my favorite as well. Both 2 & 3 involve multiple layers and masks as different areas required different degrees and techniques of processing.

    Ouch .. that's gotta hurt .. finding it gone. I feel your pain.

    #2 is my favorite. I like seeing the green in there.

    Great set, Jack! I'm glad you didn't have to kick yourself too hard--you do have some nice ones here. I prefer #3 for the bright yellow and the lines and shapes and for the bright splotch in the center.
