Taken from the Ironbridge Gorge (the home of the Industrial Revolution) this is a steam-driven pit winding engine for lowering and raising the iron ore from the mine. The steam boiler is in a seperate room from the engine. Using a slow shutter speed I have tried to capture the movement of the big wheel.

I couldn't pick on the photo (too good to criticize), but the title... How about: "They don't make 'em like this anymore" or "She can still keep up with the best of 'em!" - Outstanding job!
Could be an interesting item if I knew what it was. It melds in with the desk. Given the attire of the gentleman, I would think it was going to be a car but I don't think so. Bad angle for the shot.
Very nicely done, almost makes me feel I’m there. From the machinery to the operator to the desk and chair to the room all seems to be natural. Well lit and in good focus. Highlights and shadows are nice and you have set a mood. Even the blown out window does NOT distract my eye from the slight motion of the machinery. Great Job!
I like this very much. The contrast between white points and the rest of the image makes it quite appealing and dramitic. Motion blur also helps with the dynamic feel. Among my top picks.
