This was before I discovered the unsharp mask. Somehow when I have to resize my pictures to fit the resolution limits the all look blurry when they are not. Any suggestions?

I would have liked to seen a little more light on the chains to help draw them even more from the background and bring out a little of their detail.

Great job on the DOF, really isolates the subject.

Focus.

Nice. And rusted old chain. Cause you don't see many of those around anymore.

Interesting shot. Nice idea. I think the focus could be sharper.

This works way better as thumbnail, where it's quite striking. Suffers only from lack of sharpness on chain, anmd a little blocking of the dark areas.

For me the focus seems just a bit soft.

Nice picture, although you might need another appuratus to like a pulley to actually call this a machine.

Very cool lighting...but not very mechanical
