An Old Block

This is a great example of making something out of nothing. Well done Rick, I like the treatment you placed on this making an every day thing, interesting

Well composed, and I like the way you have emphasized the main subject.

Best regards, Rick!

Yes, very well done Rick.  Your processing brings out the rugged details so well. I love taking images of old machinery. I have not done much lately, but there is no end to the possibilities that lie within.

One of the comments piqued my interest - "something out of nothing." Having had use of blocks like this, some of which are probably in just about this shape now, it is, to me, definitely something. I also can't help but be drawn into several levels of contemplation. Not least among those is the excellent use of vignetting, and the desaturation of all but the block itself. Honestly, my first glance at it as a thumbnail suggested a Chinese-style barbecued rolled roast. So, yes...many levels at which to contemplate a very thought-provoking image. Thanks for sharing it!

Great shot, Rick!

This is a very nice piece of art work. Please take that as a compliment. The contact of color with the B&W setting is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this.
