Such a classic b&w study. All the details are great.

i think the title should have been 'clutch'!! nice tones - maybe could have brightened the midtones slightly?

Love the tonality, and the wonderful textures and details. Perfect composition that allows the eye to explore. This must be really amazing as a print.

Women photo flowers, guys photo engines.

I love the texture and fine detail. Great b&w conversion here.*

Very nice, Jeffrey. I like all the detail and the tension created by the combination of vertical and horizontal elements. The contrast works nicely, too.

This does look familiar, though. IIRC, you showed the CANP bunch a print of this in Lee Vining a couple of years ago?

Kent: This was done on B&W neg film, btw.

Thanks, everyone for the kind comments.

Preston, yes this is in my portfolio, and it was shown then. I could never post it here at that time. And, Kent was kidding......
