 THIS is a multi purpose, VERY VERY OLD, home, fitness machine.. The part you're seeing is a "treadmill" and the "Rowing" option..I've put up an outtake to clarify what the machine looks like

I'm dust phobic.. Very hard time touching this stuff.. Found discarded machine and .. the rest is history..
The lighting is surprising good for something that was taken in bright daylight.. I was squinting all the way through.. and the darn thing was really heavy so I couldn't do much with it except prop it against the wall..

Things I did..
cropped
Shadow/Highlight..
Selective colour..
Gradient map b/w..
faded at colour..
sharpened and faded
Contrast..

I would appreciate some feedback on what I should have done differently with this pic.. Yes I know the thumbnail looks cool!

It took me a moment to figure out what this is. Even though I like the photo, it shouldn't take someone that long to figure it out...IMO

Excellent detail. A bit underexposed, although that could be the effect. Good shot.

I don't know what this is, but that's probably due to my stupidity. It's a nice clear image and I like the rustic look of it. I'll just have to trust that it has to do with fitness. =) Eight.

Very dramatic effect due to the angle and the detail of the dirt. I like very much the composition, the color, everything in this picture. 9
