I took this image of an old steam roller passing by as a tight crop with my 70-210 telephoto lens at about 95mm.
They don't move very quick, so I had plenty of time to compose and shoot to the crop I felt best worked in this instance.
Wierd machines from another age, amazed so many of them are still in existence, although in the hands of steam enthusiasts nowadays.

Very nicely framed. Although I'm not a fan of the boarder (detracts the eye).

@Craiger: Thanks for your comment Craiger, so a version without the border is posted, which I agree looks better with my Am3 all black scheme.
That's a great shot! Nice colors!

the people driving the steam roller make this shot - I also like the composition of all of the circles
