Dig Tis! :: HDR

I know I have already posted 2 excavator shots in the past :P but seriously I can't help myself everytime I see one. How can I resist esp when its just 2 blocks away from my house! Just thought I will muck around with this processing a bit more so it does not look the same like my previous posts.. just trying to be fun on this boring monday :)) have a good start to the week!
