Some old steam machinery

quite an interesting picture but i would watch the left side which is blown and really keeps taking my eye off the subject

Nice picture, just the sky is blown out.

I'm sorry but do you mean the right side and the washed out sky?

yes the sky is blown

I appreciate your comments but I am at a loss to understand what you mean by blown out .

its a term used to say over exposed

Thank you.

nice angle. As mentioned the sky is completely blown out. Its a tad blurry also. Getting in closer to the cogwheels might have given a slightly nicer composition, and you could have cut out a lot of sky that way.

Might be a good candidate for a b&w treatment.

Thanks I'll try the B&W aspect.
