Kind of a sad sight to see although makes kind of a neat statue all on its own! What a great shot with wonderful clarity and great d.o.f. Nicely framed with a beautiful natural setting! Need a sign and it would be compete Mary!

Comment from Anne
This is really interesting the way you took it. You wonder why they left it to rust. I like the close up and the details you see. I like the way you left the bush in the picture too. An excellent picture.

Comment from canon shooter
Good presentation of the machine. I always find it interesting to play with the tones on old machinery like this. I think sepia or some old tones would really make this interesting.

You have trulynicecomposition on this, it looks abandoned, yet sturdy against the rock. The bush in the paicture adds nice balance, both in color and placement. Donkeyoatey

I like photographing old equipment; this is done very well with a good frame to lead your eye around. Nice muted colors that adds a dramatic effect you this nice photo. You may want to play around with this and try a black and white conversion, it may give you a different perspective, well done.

set the mood here, good framing and the trees help with that, the light shapes this nicely

Great story line. The lighting works in this situation because it adds to the emotion of abandonment. Very nice composition. Great photo.

good Morning. What a great piece of mining history you have captured here. YOur focus is crisp on the equipment as well as the bushes encroching on the abandond equipment. You have captured very well the desolation associated with the ghost town described just by the POV you have chosen. Love the framing and your use of thirds and placing the grindernin the foreground and letting the bushes come from the back. Truly love this shot. I hope you have a great day, C

I like this one. As years go by, it gets harder all the time, to find things like this. Thanks for documenting it.
