I prefer the second - the composition and detail are more appealing.

Nicely done, Don.

These are rippers Pauly. Had you (subtly) post-processed them for the colours? Whatever the answer to that, they have all come up very nicely indeed.

And hence the 'sea' of people on which the boat floats - nice touch Iqbal.

Kris - was the occupant of this plot named Ernie, per chance?

What a fascinating, multi-themed series.

The last shot has so much intrigue in it - the crayfish on the wooden box on the RHS for example!

+1 Ian - nice work.

One and Three for me Jon - the moody light in 1 is excellent. So are the composition and choice of focal length for both these.

Thanks gents - I should probably have added some context around this at the start!

There's an abandoned gold mining dredge in the Central Goldfields, and the Giant's Chainsaw is the raised bucket arm (minus the buckets) extending out from the dredge. One of the buckets lying around in the bush nearby is featured in Toothless.

The first two are images of the old tracked steam crane, abandoned beside the dredge.

This stuff has just been left where it was last used in the early 1980s.

Tim - they were all shot using the FA31 - the mozzies were about to cart me off, and there was a thunderstorm brewing. Get in, take the pics, and get out was the motto of the day - no changing lenses!
