Walking around a museum I spotted this 'Oil filler' and thought it was worth taking a snap.

This is great subject matter. I love images of old hardware.
Here are my suggestions for editing. Desaturate to b/w since it is almost b/w already; darken highlights; rotate right 2.5 degrees; slight sharpening. What do you think? Posted: 11/04/2020 13:45:21

That looks like a plan Stephen thanks for the suggestion. Posted: 11/08/2020 09:54:55
Great shapes here and certainly worth a shot. Stephen's suggestions are well worth following up. Posted: 11/11/2020 03:34:34

Looks like an industrial image - reminds me of the series I had posted a while back. Looks as if my work has already been done. I think the tonality here is lacking so a conversion to monochromatic is a good way to go. And, it did look a bit soft in some spots, so some selective sharpening would help.

I agree with monochrome and rotation. Perhaps also increase go for a "steampunk" look - increase contrast/texture. Posted: 11/16/2020 10:21:21
Yes I agree as well on changing it to monochrome. Makes we realize there are things in my cellar I could photo! Posted: 11/19/2020 20:08:13
Stephen said it first and I agree with his version. A big improvement on an interesting mechanical subject. If the top edge of the frame were extended a bit it might improve the composition. Posted: 11/22/2020 10:14:56
