I'm torn about this one Larry. I like what appears to be the main subject quite a bit (boots, hat, pants). I'm just not sure of taking the engine out of the shot by using the edge treatment. It might even be the big E-2 signifying Engine 2 that is throwing me. I'll keep thinking on it.
I hear you Doug. I wasn't sure about this image either. To me it's an unusual mix of abstract and traditional technique but the straight shot just seemed too cliche'. And at the end of the day I still like the published treatment.
I wish someone else would chime in on the second version. I still think it's the lettering and signage that kills it for me. I really did not have a problem with the edge treatment in the original Larry.
I work in the industrial distribution sector as a salesman for a master distributor of valves and fittings in Houston, TX. I am a member of the Bay Area Photo Club which meets at the Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake in Clear Lake Texas on Tuesday nights. I shoot with an Olympus E-3 and my favorite lens in my Zuiko 12-60.

My uncertainty may have something to do with the signage, all of it. That seems to be my sticking point. I don't take issue with the edge treatment.
