Default Strength in detail

Rust, iron and stone. Add shape and detail and I'm there with my camera! A few shots from Ireland; by waterfronts and out in the hedgerows.

You chose a really interesting subject. These inanimates (usually left aside , undetected and not appreciated) come to life in a splash of color and contrasts. Really good!
I enjoyed seeing you set. I think #3 is my fav, just because you put a twist on that one.

It's funny that a lot of people would never think to photograph such things, but as you have shown they can be quite a subject in their own right. These are really well done.

Great detail and textures moi. The second one is my favourite, but all of them are excellent. Very nice work and a great subject.

Dave.

flavio-thank you so much for the very thoughtful comments on these 'inanimates'......I have a passion for 'everyday' objects and items........we are lost without them really!

Beautiful work. I really love the texture in all of them. Makes you think you could feel all the pits and bumps if you touched the screen.
