Excellent post processing - I like what you did with the background.

Love these old machines, especially steam driven ones.  I also like the bg, somehow it compliments the press.

Beautiful work with very nice details, Jean-Marc!

Hi Jean-Marc,

Beautiful composition. The b&w gives it more patina and fits the motive very well. A timeless and majestic beauty - like a landscape, just of the nostalgic industrial type..

All the best

It's like going back in time... Wonderful piece of engineering very effective captured and presented. Compliments Jean- Marc!

Very good B&W, Jean,with a great edition. I like the composition very much. Best regards.

Really good documentary photo. Best regards, Linh Dinh

Old abandoned vehicles and machines are among my favorite photographic subjects Jean-Marc.......I have a large collection of them.

The overall presentation of this old machine is really very successful....the overexposure of the b/g and the sepia like effect enrich the impression.....

I like the smart title....

Well captured document of past times..excellent PP. BR,vf

Fabulous production for this old machine. Good idea to use sepia and the fading background....a timely reminder of days gone by...Regards

Dear all, thanks a lot for your comment. I really had fun on this image. Regards, Jean-Marc 

What a great timeless photo.  You really brought it back to life.  Good processing and framing.  Well Done  Gail

Your post processing work on this is really wonderful. It makes your subject seem surreal. Wonderful!
