An Industrial Scene

One of my greatest influences in photography is the work of Lee Friedlander. I wonder what he would've made of this scene?

Turbine

Here is the original, unedited colour shot. Blue really was the colour on that day.

I think you did right by converting it to mono.

Nice shot, I love the clean lines. I am wondering if it would be better without the foreground fence...I am not sure.

Good one. I like the fence.

Ideally , the wind turbine should be a bit higher. Showing all the blades.
Other than that, a great shot and a great mono treatment.(as usual)

I like the black and white treatment although I think the pic looked pretty good in colour too. Yes, leave the fence in, it's part of the industrial scene.

Interesting that the original was in mono but Paul chose to go from blue mono to grey mono. Would like to see a larger version of the original to see which worked best.

And yes, I am for the fence left in as well.

Thanks guys, I appreciate you lookin' and commentin'.

Jackie, here is a larger colour image.

Thank you Paul, you know what I am going to say, I like it in blue but guess you had a good reason to make it grey.
