I am posting these two shots in tandem, and dedicating them to one of our closest friends, who underwent a major heart intervention this morning, and has come out FINE!!!. We are “The Rusty Hearts” dear friends. Maybe a little rusty, but we still work fine… xxx
I am also wishing to enter one of these shots into a challenge, and would appreciate people’s opinions about which shot is preferred. ( See Rusty Crusty Tap Gallery Challenge)

I like this a lot Rosie – all those spigots make for a fascinating composition. I really love that central focus. Where the heck is this Rosie? It looks like outdoor wash basins.

It’s a fisherman’s trough Lianne. I shot this together with a friend who has been undergoing serious heart treatment this morning, and I have been beside myself for him and his dear wife- our best friends. We have just heard he has come through it fine! I am so happy and relieved. It has been such a rough time for them. It is my friend that loved these taps and he asked me to take the shot.
Thanks so much Lianne xxx

You did well by your friend Rosie. What a beautiful approach to this. I just love your inspired choice regarding depth of field, the decision to let the colors speak for themselves. A truly wonderful photo.
