Pushing the boat out

[Brian G]

I arrived at Hastings just after a storm had passed and there were some interesting clouds in the sky.

High and dry.

An interesting set, your dozer looks in slightly better condition than the one on my thread, just.
If I'm being critical they look there's a bit to much contrast or sharpening going on for my personal taste.

Yes, that particular tractor is in relatively good shape - I don't think it will ever pass another MOT test though!
I was amused by the plywood "windows" but presumably this is a response to the local vandals.

Thanks for the comment.
Yes, you're probably right.
Most of them have been through Topaz "Adjust" to enhance the sky, and I think it probably gives a bit too much contrast in the rest of the scene.
I must start applying the adjustments more selectively.
I also noticed that I had the "Sharpen for Screen" box ticked in the Lightroom Export dialog, which probably emphasises things even more.
I've had No.4 printed at A3 size and it looks fine.
