How's this for something different? It's a gear on a gate at a park. LOL.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

More ... please. Sincerely.


Caveats?

Lil' ... lil' soft on the focus.

Would be interesting/fun ... to play around with the DOF some more on this one.

And then again, there is the B & W possibility.


Nice one, Jim. I really like the composition, textures and colours within frame.

And the lines of the gear itself work well on the note of leading lines in conjunction with your composition. Tying in the gear itself with the ... whatever that thing is called in the left-hand background.

Let's call it ... the 'gear's counterpart'.

:oD


Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

Jimbob - Judging from the spider webs, the gears have been stationary for a while. Terrific comp. I like the close up and angle you used. Thad

Cool close-up! Very well composed, and I like the detail you captured - right down to the spiderwebs.

That's wild, I wouldn't have guessed from a gate. An interesting perspective. I like the composition and close up angles, lines and color.

Really like the close up shot of this and how you can just see the spiderwebs in the background. I'm afraid that if you do it as a B/W like purmusic suggested you wont be able to see all the rust and different shades of green on the gears.

This is a very cool shot Jim - I do think it would work in B&W with some adjustments.

I would never guess that it is a detail of a gate, but a beautiful art photo, very well done Jim!

At first I thought you had slipped a gear but upon closer inspection I find it is really creative. Good post JimboB.

I knew that. lol Good color capture and dof. Looks like it hasn't been used in a little bit 'cause the spiders have recently been there.

A bit of a departure for you Jim. But a very successful one. The colours are beautiful.

Could use a bit more focus on a smaller part, maybe, but this is very very good photography! Did you use a tripod? I must say I do prefer ,I think, this colours because it looks so real. Work I certainly do enjoy Jim! Mich

Hi Jim. Yes, it's different, and different is good. I like the shot, and the composition.

I'd offer just about the same critique points as already mentioned. so I'll be lazy and say "what ^they^ said" :p

Seriously, if this is something close by, try a re-shoot. Manual focus might help. f8 or 9ish if you can swing it.

I think you might be pleased with the result. Also, what white balance was used?

Gears and cogs. Looks like it is not used for some time, spider nets. I like your picture. Good job Jim.
