I placed the bright areas (where the huge nuts & washer plates are) @ 244. I can see, once posted, that they're still a tad bright. Too late to correct this image, but I will target these areas about 235-240 for future use.

The basic shapes really grab attention. Would love to see this printed to get a better appreciation of the subtle detail in the rest of the image.

Nice design. I agree the high values are little too hot. I'd also like to see a bit more detail in the dark area above the three large wheels. This should make a nice print.
