Wow.. what an engine.. how old it is and where it is? this is so cool.. adding it to my fav..

What a great old engine. I can imagine it when it was shiney and new. Should be taken to a museum somewhere

yes, great capture, and it should be in a museum somewhere, I agree.

This is a fab piece of machinery, nice find and great entry too!

Hi - thanks for your comments. I am not sure how old it is. I will post the location when the contest is finished as I am not sure if this would give away my identity which is against the rules - I will also have another look at it and see if there is a makers plate or anything to gauge it's age. i agree that it tshould be looked after rather than sitting out in the elements.

cool author.. that's a great find.. I don't know what is it doing out there like some abandoned stuff and piece of crap.. just look at that.. its awesome.. I'll wait for your post of its location and do you mind taking a couple of more snaps and adding them in an album...?

No problems iquraishi

It's really a piece of museum, certainly! It's a shame a rare object like that (I suppose there aren't so many ones spread all over...) being in the open air! Nice shot, author.

Excellent shot, love everything about it. good luck to you

excellent ! one of the bests i've seen !

INCREDIBLE!!! Did I mention I kinda like it?!? A Fav!!! Overall fantastic comp and lighting, well balanced...I'm jealous! What a great find.

Congratulations!

Thanks Giulia & everyone who voted/commented on my image

This is the coolest toy ever!!!!

cold be a bit more punch if it were in colour

I found the colour version was very wishy washy, the biggest prob is that I am very new to photography and really struggle with lighting, but not to worry the cat needs feeding again this afternoon .

This is lovely, as a fan of B&W photography I really love this image. Well done, and nicely composed too!

What a fantastic old toy! The old wooden floor helps, but it doesn't really emphasize corrosion very much.

For an antique mood, the shot is very nice, in b&w or in sepia; but as the theme is "corrosion", it would be better in color.

I find this a wonderful entry, nicely done author! like the B&W here with the wooden floor...very well done

very nice shot

And beside it a fishing net...

great shot! nice find !

Nice composition. Good colors. Might lower brightness just a touch and raise contrast a tiny bit.

nice work on this. Good Luck

I think this picture is a little bit artistic than the others.

Good balance. I like the composition
