Took this shot of part of my tractor's engine this morning. Used levels, cropped, unsharp mask, and hard mix lighting to increase the graininess...I like it; it has an industrial and abstract feeling...but that's only my opinion!

Greetings from the Critique Club

My intial impression here was YIKES thats bright hand me the sunglasses. Now all joking aside I think you lost a lot of character and charm in your processing. You do have the grain to meet the challenge but the colors are just to bold and become a complete distraction.

I wish the caution label would have actually been readable and again your colors seem to have taken charm from this tractor.

One of the better color entries I've seen. Your post-processing gives it an almost graphic-like quality. Bumping up after second look.

This is a very strong image. I like that you were bold in your color selection.

Comong back for a second look and bumping up to an 8, extremely original.

Extreme grain and noise along with extreme color processing. Interesting, and a cool visual abstract.

This looks more a product of funky post processing than any real image grain.
