First,  great decision on the B&W.  I love old machine shops with decades
old machines that are still in service.   I week have to dig up some images
I took of a war plant from WW II that looked abandoned from August 1945
with the machines just turned off.

Your image composition was quite interesting in a good way.  I would have
more work done as an excuse to photograph the shop again.
