The dramatic lighting and strong lines of this winch drew me. It remains one of my favorites. This image is available in various sizes and presentations.

Laura Jane Blake I adore this image. The lighting really highlights the potential movement of the machinery.

John Vias Thanks. As usual, I didn't add light to this image. It's lit by the streetlight on top of the white pole you see in "Bench and Poles." Here on the left, you can see the cyan glow coming off the horizon from mercury vapor streetlights, while on the right, the peach glow is from sodium vapor streetlights in an adjacent city. They blend in the center.
