    Wow!

    This has the makings of a fantastic image. Good color / exposure but I think it would benefit from a little cropping.

    Wow, that is a wild setting. I like it.

    In my eyes, what it needs is correction for the keystoning. Also, your sacrifice looks more like a vacationer than a worker...

    There goes Justi, pushin' envelopes faster than they can make 'em. :D

    I always think that the best/most interesting ideas come from the least expected places. Usually in jest! This turned into a great example of that.

    Fix the keystoning, and you'll be grooving! thumb.gif

    How can I fix the keystoning post-facto? Would a tighter crop be enough to remove the obviousness of it?

    I think this will help.

    I LOVE that version! thumb.gif

    It still looks a little tilted in a clockwise direction, with a bluish/magenta cast. But I like the trim.

    Was your background color set to red? There's slivers on the right and left...

    Damn!

    I am still getting used to this photoshop thing. I am leaving for Brazil in 20 minutes, so I will work on it when I return Saturday morning.

    If this is fixed up right, do you think I should LPS it?

    I actually like an original the best, it gives it power, making person very little against heavy machinery. I really didn't care for the last crop you did, it lost it's original feel. But, that's just my opinion, whatever works for you :D

    Yeah I thought you were supposed to be on an aeroplane! Go get those cashews. :D

    I have no opinion on LPS as I was drawing a blank on the theme myself. Is it colorful? Monochromatic? Maybe only Shay will know!

    My favorite tip: command-' brings up your grid to correct tilts.

    a very good shot
    Like other posters before me, I'd crop just a tiny bit on the left side. Unlike some other posters, I don't mind the keystoning - yes, supposedly it makes the image less 'graphical' and perfect - so be it - I like when the photography is real - and keystoning is what one would expect from this perspective.

    So - I say - well done! Keep it real and creative (just like this shot).

    :)

    I LOVE the tight crop!!! Awesome, I think it would look good in a b/w too...

    Like Marina, I actually like the first version. I feel all the surrounding machinery gave more a sense of the message.
