I've learnt an awful lot over the last year thanks to the guys on here and have bbeen looking over some of the early shots I took.

I've always liked this one even though I've never been entirely happy with it.

So with a bit more work on the processing, shadows, highlights and levels I've ended up with this which I think anywy is a lot better, opinions?

Oooh... way too light there I'd have thought? Somewhere between the two would be better. I like this one, there's a great sense of movement which I think is enhanced by the difference between the sharp and blurred parts of the image. I gave it a sharpen to enhance that difference.

I might be inclined to clone out that post and wire on the left, but leave the airborne debris? :)
