Machinery Chipmunk

I went to Farnborough and as usual my B&W pics came out better than colour, I especially like this one, because the subject was shiny clean and I loved the texture of the panels.

The film was Ilford XP2, I also used an orange filter, no PP.

I like the juxtaposition of the barrier's dullness next to the buffed chrome.

Great shot, not what I was expecting at all from the thread title...

With all the "cross the puddle" influences around here on the forum, I was expecting a small furry animal.

Mmm five days and virtually no comments...I thought it was a very good picture, I was also thinking about enlarging it and framing it...perhaps I am mistaken.

I find it to be too cluttered in monochrome (I realise the film was monochrome).

In colour, the Chipmunk would stand out from the background.

(I think this is the first pic I've critiqued.)

There are so many posts daily that I only look at the first two pages so it's easy to miss a thread completely. I've come back to the forum after a few days away to see upwards of 5000 posts.

I don't generally critique photos and I'm sure there are many others who are the same.
