Rusty Hooks

I really like this. I'm kind of looking for some background. maybe you could darken it just a tiny tiny bit. 6/6

special.......

Thank you Jeff for your comment. These hooks were hanging in a line on a fishing boat (no idea what they are used for), the background was peeling white paint, I played with the idea of keeping the patchy background, decided to high key it in the end. Maybe I could lower the contrast a little - thank you again for taking the time.

It really looks like the hooks are on the drying line, thanks to the small droplets all around.

 

I like the minimalistic composition but

I would second the idea of reducing the contrast of the image.

Audrey, you earned my compliments just by seing and capturing the scenery. To my taste contrast is fine, and B&W is perfect. What is really attracting my attention - repetitions (similarity) of forms and directions of droplets and hooks. Very interesting observation!

7 for originality!

Best wishes,

Galina

Essential, original, wonderful

My friend,

I admire people who search for new ways in every segment. I am more than pleased to see this image from you.

Minimalistic and so very powerful.

No, it doen'st need any changes.

It is perfect as it is.

Hi Audrey ! this is a really clever composition, a fantactic idea so well achieved !

Thank you to all for your kind words and advice. Much appreciated.

Lovely minimalist composition. Well done.

Had to check out your other work too Audrey and this is great also. Quite an eye for the common as art...very good. 6/6

Paul - thank you for checking :) In fact, this was taken in your neck of the woods - off a fishing boat near Granville market.

my first thought was, "i really like this," then read the first comment in this thread and laughed. its very distinctive in its tones, masterfuly really, with a fantastic crop/composition that raises this ordinary thing out of the ordinary. the water drops add a lot.

I hope you find this funny but when I was first looking at the thumbnail for this I thought it was a catch of eels. But no, what a surprise.. it's only hooks! They make a great picture.
