As you can see, a lot of the engine was blown out, so I had to do a composite with those areas really underexposed. After merging those two exposures in Photoshop, I added a B&W layer, added some punch with a gradient map for the darks and a curves adjustment for the midtones, did some dodging and burning, sharpened the engine with a high pass layer and added vignette to taste.

Easy peasy, lol.

Easy for you, for brain-dead me it's major surgery.

Thanks for the feedback!
