    Dan, I find vintage vehicles and machinery most interesting. Nicely done.
    The only comment I have would be to perhaps burn in the the lighter patch (top left) on the first image.
    The second image has some OOF elements that are a little distracting on the left side but it occurs to me you may have been limited in camera position for this shot.
    Did you use the 100mm macro?

    Interesting machinery shots, I wonder what they would look like in B/W ? I love the decoration on the gauge.

    thanks, folks. Len, I had my 100mm macro with me, but it turned out to be too long a FL, so I used my 24-105mm. All of these are focus-stacked. Good suggestions about edits. I'll try burning in both cases.

    Re B&W: I think they lose something in B&W, but feel free to fiddle and see what you think.

    The suggestion of trying B&W is a good idea. ¹
