In the second oldest cemetery in New Orleans I ran across a tomb with this lovely ironwork. Sometimes I find that when I try to capture something large I can do a better job if I focus on a tiny piece of it, and let it fill my frame. In this case a three-inch wide wheel connecting cross-member supports of the wrought-iron fence that surrounds the tomb was better than the crumbling tomb itself. After all there was an interstate highway overpass in the background, and a wide aperture and slow exposure allowed the narrow depth of field to make it disappear. Finally I desaturated the image to allow the textures to come out.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.
Very nice capture. I love the ornate design. As always, excellent work.

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.....Ralph Waldo Emerson
A nice capture. This piece has survived many years of being exposed to the elements.

Great choice to do this subject in B&W, it works so well to bring out the details and texture. Excellent composition Regmar!

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights!
I love the way you opened the aperture and was only focusing on the medallion. The black and white is perfect for this! Thanks for seeing it and taking it and sharing it!!!

i'll be allright in a minute..just a bit stressed you might say...
And so right you were! How beautiful this is. I've seen some of those gravestones in Louisiana...and yes I like the idea of just shooting a tiny amount of some of them. When I go to Montana to the ghost town of Bannack its like that. There is ironwork and sometimes just a corner of a marker with a tiny flower next to it...I agree with you and this is just gorgeous..V

Each day I must take one more step, no matter how small or how large, but I must take the step.
This gets a very definite 10 from me.
