Default Exploring the banal

Not the popular of subjects here on DPS cos nothing spectacular or colorful going on. But, I like it. This, too, is photography for me.

I like your geometric shots, rich of details.
The only thing I would try is a larger DoF on the last two.
Maybe an HDR too.

On the contrary Lexton, texture is so important in images, and these certainly constitute photography. Sight and touch in humans are very closely related senses, and when a photographer exagerates textures as you have done here, it can evoke strong emotions.You have illustrated the tiny peaks and troughs of this timber well, and I for one appreciate you posting them. Thanks. PAUL

I really like this set.....is it an old barn? I see it's made with pegs? instead of nails?
That is always amazing to me...I love the first shot.

I love these shots! Great perspective and depth of field, and I love the rich colors. Great geometry.
