Did I waste my time...
Did I waste my time taking and processing this shot
I'm not sure about this photo and I'm trying to decide if this has any merit. Your thoughts on weather I should have changed it to B&W (this is full color) or toned it in some way would be appreciated as far as cropping goes I have a little leeway so should it be crop more on the right and have a little space returned to the left Canon detail camp cove 
I like the contrasting shapes and the colour. I don't thing you wasted your time PPing it as you would never know how it would turn out if you didn't.

I'm not sure if this is a keeper or not like you I suspect. I would however rotate it 90 deg counter clockwise. Peter

Keith, I quite like it, but I thought it lacked contrast as it was. I also prefer it rotated.
This was with some curves, USM for contrast + USM for detail, and slight blues saturation. (Let me know if you want this removed)  Cheers,

Keith - I like the rework Kris has done on it

It does, the human mind just doesn't expect the light to come from the bottom left. I also find the contrast enhancing treatment to be taking away, rather than adding to the image. The original was about shapes, tones and space (for me), the edit focuses the eye on all the nooks and crannies in the material. I do like the original (wouldn't mind seeing a BW version, even toned). I can't quite put my finger on to why I like it, I guess it has to do with the relationship between the small bolts and rivets, and the bigger structures - if that makes sense to anyone... Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
Hi Keith,
IMHO I think you did "waste your time" and your intuition was right...I am a big fan of these abstract type of images but feel that here the composition doesn't work..there are just too many elements working independently and I have nothing to focus on...and its something that PP cannot fix....as I said this is just my little 'ole opinion...
