After your overreaction and hypersensitivity to controversial subjects concerning current events -- namely, the clear and growing influence of fundamentalism on our nation's politics, whether it be ideological or religious -- have lead me to conclude that DPC is not an intellectually tolerant community. Or, at the very least, that DPC is a community that is easily manipulated by a single vociferous user (RonB), which many DPCers (including ClubJuggle, as noted in one of his posts in the thread in question) recognized as being prone to exaggeration, manipulation and distortion of the truth. Either scenario leaves me extremely disappointed with the level of oversight, fairness and judgment that's exercised by the site council of DPC. Accordingly, given the extremely negative impression that I now have of DPC, please permanently delete my user's record: bdobe, including any images that I've not been able to delete myself. Finally, once my record has been permanently deleted, please forward an email to (email address removed) confirming that my request has been fulfilled.
Thank you

This is so cool! I like industrial shots, but the patina, or old paint, whatever it is really gives this shot some impact. composition is great, as is focus, lighting, DOF. If this were my image, I would try to bump up the contrast a little, either with a contrast adjustment, or a curves adjustment. Another way to increase contrast (not DPC legal, though) in Photoshop is to creat a new layer on top, go to layer>new fill layer> solid color. Change the mode to color burn, then hit OK. A color picker will pop up, select a light gray color and hit OK. Works great!
Congrats on a very nice image and good luck.
