Thanks Frank. Gave it a whirl. I posted the original and a variation in the demo folder. Would appreciate your critique. Better, worse, too much, not enough?

Maybe you can try to play a bit with the contrast (using curves) to see different results. Making them stronges does normally give quite a punch.

Thanks for the feedback, Frank, Ernest, Helen. b&w is a challenge for me. I was intrigued by the texture and shadows of this rusty disc and thought it had possibilities. Couldn't figure out the b&w setting in camera, so did a simple conversion in CS3.

Great to see the rusty structure and great crop too!

Good crop, good tones, good shot.

I really like your composition here! Nice toning and detail on the blades as well.
