The left edge gradient is a little too heavy-handed for my taste, but I do love the subject.

You have a point, Phillip. The whole image is heavily vignetted; I was just playing around, very new to post-processing, and liked the result enough to keep it, but it warrants a re-edit from scratch.

After spending 31 years in heavy industry photos like this have a certain nostalgia for me. I find it hard to be a true critic of a photo I love. This is what photography is to me. A great photo.

Thanks a lot, Steve. That's very kind of you. I appreciate your comments especially given your hands-on experience of this world, which I live vicariously. I'm drawn like a magnet to Pearns where this Titan, and a Bulldog, and many other treasures live.
