thanks cr3snapper and damage for my votes - it was a tough comp this month! mine was an HDR shot which i then converted to black and white and did some dodge/burn; it was an old pump from an abandoned factory (i really should stop breaking into places...
)
UP: boat. nice shot, and the improved sky made it better too. it just didn't stand out for me, that's all. good work nontheless
DOWN: block and tackle. i really liked the repetition in this shot, and it very nearly got my vote.
i went for 'dark singer' in the end, really liking the way the singer seemed to blend into the background...
