I like it. FYI, Pbase took a long time to load it.

Very nice. I love watching a Shay run by. All that motion and noise and plenty of time to enjoy it as it creeps by.

No detail in the blacks. Usually means underexposure. A silver reflector held under the camera lens and angled up will bounce some light back into those darks shadows and brighten them up.

True. But it could also mean that he didn't want detail in those blacks? Looks OK in color managed Firefox3.

I like the way the shadow background makes the cylinders, rods, and cranks stand out more. There's nothing much back there anyway other than the frame girder and some brake piping.

I'm looking at it on a calibrated monitor, using a color managed browser....and I am not seeing any signs of underexposure. In fact, it seems quite well exposed. I would say it is a pretty good shot just as it is.
