Hello all,

I'd appreciate some feedback on this photo I took a couple of months ago. I've intentionally 'dirtied' the end result somewhat, but I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with it yet. Would it look better with less contrast in the sheet metal? B&W? Thoughts?

not sure what to tell you here atlas....I really like the subject! i do think its a bit soft and maybe a bit too dark on the right upper portion...a bit of dodging could help there....
maybe try playing around a bit and try some different variations...

The right side is a bit too dark. Going B&W here loses it all. The colors are what make this one. I played a little with color balance and hue/saturation. I'd definitely play with the colors.
