i like that, bold, abstract, lots of lines, gets my vote, however i'd be tempted to add more saturation, but that'd be to my taste.

seems to work quite well, though i think i MAY have been tempted to try a closer crop, just to see what it looks like..
is it a factory of somesuch?

This, I like.
As wez says, it's bold, lots of lines, it's very defined, and smacks you in the face

I'm undecided as to whether to crop that little line from the bottom or not.
Without it, it adds impact to the patterns, but with it there, it adds some sort of perspective/depth and realism to the whole shot, which would be lost without it.

yeah love the contrasting vertical lines against the horizontal ones, great shot.

I still have that problem. Less so than I used to, but still have it.

The more pressing problem I suffer from, is my height.
I'm 6'4", and things like this shot are at chest height, so to get them square on, I have to stand like a demented crab to get them...much to the amusement of anyone who is with me, or any passers by...lol

Well that's have the fun innit?lol

To answer Matt's question, it's actually a school portable. It's originally yellow but I much prefered the boldness the red gave it. Slap's ya in the face as Marcel pointed out,lol Here is the original, and a tighter crop for Matty. Not sure how tight of a crop you were thinking there Matty. You can see what I had to work with anyway. I think the red version is much better though.

Thanks for all the comments everyone, glad you like it.

the 1st (original) is still the better and i don't think a crop of it will improve it any

Nice shot! I like the colors on first one. The only thing may be I will do to it, its to saturate a little bit the color as someone has told you.

cheers!

Interesting, everywhere I have posted this it's the same comment. Up the saturation a wee bit. On my monitor it looks so red it's not funny. Hmm

thanks for looking,
Jewel
