Description
One of the valves at the Old Hidalgo Pumphouse, used to divert water from the Rio Grande River for the purpose of irrigation.
Topaz filter 1005 00 FG NB Glow (A prosaic moniker, perhaps, but undoubtedly unique!)

Great shot & I like your subtle use of the filter, Tara. The light bouncing off the pitted, scarred metal & the contrast with the dark background create a potent & very appealing effect...
Great detail. Your P.O.V. and post work makes this look monumental, even heroic, in a World War II sort of way. I can imagine a muscular shirtless fellow turning the wheel to advance the war effort.
Excellent title and your capture looks great with this lovely finish. 😀
excellent
superb!!
Outstanding post work Tara. God bless.
This instantly reminded me of the Futurists, and then after I read Mark's comment, of the agitprop of the USSR. Magnificent !
Beautiful dream-ish filter work on this interesting Valve. Love the light.
Fabulous photography with great lighting.
This is absolutely delicious, Tara! Right now I'm salivating over that pump wheel.... I'd sell my soul for one of those.... Well, almost..
The lighting in this shot is beautiful!
Did you turn it to see what it does?
An impressing photo with forms, light and POV, dear friend. I love how your captured this technical stuff so lovely.
I know it sounds weird, but this photo should be hanging in a high-end gallery
Love that kind of picture and composition.
Nicely spotted...
Great capture Tara!
