My simple suggestion is that I would have gone with B&W. The color in the shot doesn't add a whole lot, and in those cases I always think about B&W. The shot then becomes somewhat more about the geometry and shapes. I like your composition and especially like the diagonal line provided by the roller axle (or whatever). My eye tells me I don't like the blur of the central metal piece, but I think that's personal preference. I tend to have trouble with liking motion blur.
So you use 16/64 for your high-radius USM? I've tended toward 25/40, but I also tend to do it before resize so that may make quite a difference. I'll have to goof around with that. |
