I like the tones on this. The texture of the wood .. the knothole. It looks like I could touch it from here. Very nice.

I know what group you had in mind when you saw this, lol. I wonder if you would have captured it without that thought? I now take shots of stuff that I would have ignored, if I wasn’t here.
Another masterwork Kofoed, superb.
Kofoed in reply to pryere’s comment, 2 months ago
You’re absolutely right, mate! How didi you know? Well, surely because we are inspired by this place and the groups we’re in.
Thanks a lot for your nice comments, they are much appreciated.

G’day Kofoed,
It’s rusty and it’s crusty and it is shown so well here, especially with your clever inclusion of the knot in the wood which balances the image very well and allows us to take in more of the wonderful shapes and texture of the old timber.
Great exposure/light/processing and a nice sharp focus give us all the detail clearly and crisply.
Great work that man!

Dennis, thank you very, very much for your generous and encouraging comments. They are very much appreciated.
While shooting the padlock in portrait I spotted the knot, and what was more obvious than taking them both?
Thank you for honouring me by favouriting this :o)

This is a great shot! I love the texture of old rusty stuff like this. My husband thinks it is just “junk”, but he is not a photographer. I guess you just have to have an eye to see beauty in everyday things like this. Suzanne
