Keeping with yesterday's industrial theme, I shot this headache ball and block on a mobile crane that was doing some work in Baytown a while back. I don't know why but I like the subject as a still life study.

I kind of hate to ask this, but why is it called a headache ball? Great smooth background and very graphic subjects, but pretty dark on my monitor. I think a levels or curves adjustment would show the detail better and if the sky gets too bright for you then you can use the mask to bring it back down.
I agree with Cindi that the basic shot is a keeper but the photo is too dark to hold my interest. There's probalby 50 ways to lighten it up using Photoshop. This might be a fun shot to render some lighting effects on.

From my old construction days, I believe that the headache ball is so named because it is thought of as a significant head knocking hazard. Of course, I now remember things that my mind imagined many years ago, so that might not be the real reason - but the most colorful.
