    Hey .. .I think it's cool you are looking at mundane subjects and scenes and striving to portray them in an interesting way. It's a tough way to learn but a very good way!!

    I cant even put into words how much being here is helping change my thinking and how I look at things now.

    I hope the fun for you all will be watching me apply that which you have taught, and help me grow to get some really good pictures.

    In my 32 years in the machinist trade I have had maybe 50 apprentices (apprenti in our vernacular) and of those 3 or 4 really wanted to learn and turned out to be damned fine machinists. To the point that when their skills and desire to excel grew out past the shop we were in they came to me first to tell me they were quitting and moving on, to which I gave my blessing and glowing recommendations to the new employer. To me it was selfish on my part (and a boost to my ego) to put out a great machinist, and I was not easy on them. The ones you have to be easy on will never be anything but mediocre.

    This might also work in BW....I think you might be able to get some better contrasts in monochrome. I also think you can get a better close up as MA stated. That or angle it off to the side a bit more so it's not quite so centered.
    I would so be all over this trying to get every angle possible and playing with depth of field as well.
