still life Rust

A collection of rusty objects discovered during a recent photo

exploration.

You know, I'm more a fan of pretty sunsets than taking something everyone walks by and doesn't notice and making a photograph of it BUT I must say this one caught my eye and is absolutely SPECTACULAR! I love the depth of field on the hinge to the right. Furthermore, not only the rusty objects, but the background objects (wood, etc) of each go well with the object, with each other as a series, and with your black frame. This is one of the best photographs of "ordinary" inanimate objects I've ever seen! I'm jealous of this shot...I'm going to be taking pictures of rusty objects for the next month now! Congratulations--well done!

Richard said what I thought better and in less words. Thanks Richard! :) I agree wholeheartedly! If you just described this shot to me I wouldn't think it would be great but it just works--you hit the (rusty) nail on the head!

Cool triptych! I like how you have used size of each element to balance the composition. Teh colours are great, rich and with subtle pastel overtones. Whilst the commonality lies in the rust hence the title I alos like the balance of shapes between each. An effective and engaging photo.
