I like "moving parts." I'm a sucker for engineered items
I think the turqoise/blue painted castings in the background are distracting though, and if it was my pic I'd adjustment brush them less obtrusive

I see what you mean. I'll have a play. Unfortunately, they are all part of the same engine, so weren't far enough behind to through out of focus.

Hi Ted.
Like the clarity of number one, I am a mechanical / machine, junky.
I own a number of open crank engines, dating from the nineteen twenties, so any images as number one, does it for me.
Take care.

It's not the focus, but the brightness and colour. Do you use Lightroom or somethign with similar tools? If so I would recommend an adjustment brush with exposure, clarity and saturation taken slight down, and wiped over the background parts.Smeggypants wrote:
