Coal Breakers

Some shots I found from the summer that I had forgotten to go through. These are from an old abandoned Coal Breaker deep in Coal Country.

Love locations like this to try and find interesting shots. You've got some nice ones. :thumb Fallen Soldier (took me a second to figure out the whys of the name :D ) is the one I especially like.

You know I had never thought about the title "Fallen Soldier" for that shot until just now. That's a great title, and better than other photos I've seen that use that name. :thumb

A little contrasty on the boots, but when I shot the same subject I had a similar problem. I know you know that I use CS3 and you use LR, and there probably isn't much difference in the capabilities of recovering highlights but I'm curious to know if it's worth considering.

Love the composition of the fan, except I can smell the mass quantities of bird poop just looking at it.

Maybe just a bit oversaturated on this one. (http://www.tenminutesout.net/view.php?section=Coal_Breaker&photo=Summer%20Heat)*wipes eyes*

Again everything seems just a bit soft. I think it's going to bother me even if you do get it figured out and the problem goes away. :rolleyes

DaddyO - Thanks for looking :) That title was my attempt at wit.

Schmooo - When looking back at Summer Heat, I agree. I need to turn those greens down a LOT! Thanks for pointing that out. I really really need to go back there and re-shoot a lot of these. Thanks for the critique.
