 Taken at a local junk heap using available sunlight.

Not much to say about this, just wanted to bring some natural light into this rusted metal. Very minor Post Processing: the normal RAW tweaks (saturation, WB, contrast) a smart sharpen, save for web.

I really like the colors and textures of this shot... I think they speak for themselves.

Add a bit more contrast and sharpness and you have a winner, I think.

Good shot. Modern looking colours on an old piece of machinery. It works.
