Alternator

Please offer a critique, a rating, anything to help me improve my

technique. Thanks!

This original image has pleasing colors and tones, which allowed you to do some work in PS to make it a far more interesting subject. This is a good image to start with, but nothing inspiring as it is. I always maintain you have to have something decent to work with in Photoshop. If you have a grainy, out of focus image, you can't do a whole lot to make it spectacular. You are on the right path starting with a sharp, well-composed subject such as this one.

where are these amazing circels??? still a altenator. mike

Reminds me of the family farm and the disused tractor there when I visit. Nice image, evokes fond memories.

Nice detail on this one. I think the top left traingular shape takes me out of this photograph though. Also that shape on the bottom left. Have you tried zooming in some more? I almost think there is too much to look at here, I'm not totally sure what the focus is on, if that makes any sense.

I like it without the circle frame. The colors are slightly different- or at least seem different shades of red to me. I love old pieces of stuff.

how do you feel about hitting b/w?

Knicki-

Yup, there's your problem ................ a loose belt ............ (-;

 

I'm thinking a shallow dof might be good for this. Just a thought.

You got a piece of art with the other version 'Alternate Alternator'.
