On call and unable to leave town, I popped over to Heritage Park for the afternoon, capturing this image of the blade of a snow plow. Similar units are still in use on Canadian track to clear the line.

This reminds me of the picture of the bow of a ship that was included in your book. I really enjoy them both.
Have you done a lot of dodging / burning for this picture, or did the light on the plow present itself as such?
I've just discovered Bruce Barnbaum through "Lenswork" a few issues ago. I really enjoy the work presented there, and both this picture and the ship picture mentioned above seem (to my eye anyhow) to fall into a similar category. Graphic and pleasing tonality.
Image processing included some filtering in black and white conversion adjustment layer, then some lightening, Akvis Enhancer and some final minor adjustments in contrast.

I like the shot: subject, composition, and so on, but I'd like to see more contrast. Greys darkened down to give a greater sense of the mass and heft of the giant plow.
