57 Oct 24 Comment Interesting composition, and a lot for the viewer to take in. I like Cindy's tone adjustment. If I had to nitpick ; since you mentioned the rough edges on the blade caused a 'derailment', and I assume the file will be used to fix those rough edges. But if you hadn't mentioned the rough spots, I probably wouldn't have noticed. I think that edge gets lost in the shadow under the blade. Since you were on a tripod, if you had light source to shine into that shadow area, it might have shown the rough edges. Then putting the file under the blade closer to the rough spots to tell the story of maintenance work to be done on the blade.
Yeah, the chain is a little soft but I don't think that was your focus point, since the letting is sharp. If the chain sharpness was an issue, say for a contest, etc. You could do a mini focus stack - say 4 or 5 images at different focus points, then blend. But that may out of scope for what you intended.		 Oct 28th
57 Oct 24 Comment Cool image. Luv the story of the horseshoe being put service for a second life. Tells an interesting story for the viewer ponder. The conbination of rust and old wood is a wonderful blend of textures. The horizontal wood texture on the right is a strong point of interest; it seems a little soft, don't know if it's a result of low res for the posting or your original f8. But all in all, since you shot at 1/30th, it a great shot. Oct 28th
57 Oct 24 Comment Nice compositions. I always enjoy rusty things; you have combined three elements to keep the the views interest. Your processing is wonderful, I'm not what's going with all the multiple blend mode layers but the end result is great. As Tom mentioned, an increase in DOF, maybe f11 or f14 could have brought more detail to the lichen. But then again, if you were hand holding, the drop in shutter speed could be counter productive. I run into that issue all the time. Well done and frame worthy. Oct 28th
57 Oct 24 Comment Very nice image; I believe it might be an old Ford ornament. Great detail in the wings, you can really see the feather detail. I so often have problems when I take these type of shots with blown out hi light but you're exposure is perfect. Well done

57 Oct 24 Comment Very nice image, as Tom says, we all seem to luv rusty stuff. Nice DOF and composition; I like the vertical /horzontal chain element. The Aqua is a great find and perfect background for all that rusty red. Oct 22nd
