Leverage Multiplied

love the symmetrical composition, contrast and tones here, very well done...

As interesting as 'leverage one'. Although the bg seems to be at bit busy on this one, the final result is excellent. Compliments Jim!

Jim,

 Wonderful processing with great details. Take care, Patsy

Great work Jim! Best regards, Ilkka

Very nice work, Jim!

This is an interesting contraption. I don't know what it is, looks like it has been around for awhile. I like the sepia tones, the textures, and composition. Nice find.

Thanks Linda- To answer your question--"In the early 1900s, agricultural development in the Spokane Valley, mainly apple orchards, required water for irrigation. D.C. Corbin, a local businessman, constructed a wooden aqueduct from the Spokane River at Post Falls to the apple orchards in the Spokane Valley and named it the "Corbin Ditch." Portions of the wooden aqueduct are still visible today."  This is the top part of a irrigation gate that was part of the Corbin ditch.

Very beautiful b&w with great details...The title fit perfect for this nice capture!

Thnx for sharing and take care.

Regards(Bobby).

Excellent details and tonality! Bravo!

Best regards Sadegh

Hi there Jim,

This image because it is in the woods  is very busy in the background, which is fine.  That is the environment that you found this unusual apparatus in.  Your editing has brought out the detail and highlights of this 'apple orchard apparatus' just perfectly.

Earlier I had commented, questioning what it was and I apologise, I had missed your description earlier.  Thankyou for that bit of history.  The area where you live is so full of history and I enjoy your stories so much.  Thankyou..........Gail

the bw seems done expressely to give history to the place. or, i'm wrong, not "seems", but "is" done. bravo, ciao
