Beauty and the Barbed Wire

wow this fantastic!~

Framed view:

Thank you Sharon and Jared – you were both quick off the mark with your comments!!! Very much appreciated.

Great job Rosalie, again seeing the things that most people don’t notice.

Gorgeous. Takes my breath away!

I think barbed wire has such a beauty art form and you have captured that beauty!!

Oh WOW – Whew…this is …incredible my friend!!!
I’m just grateful I get to see your work.

Rog

WOW this is amazing. So different. Love it!

You continue to inspire me with your wonderful images!
I laughed when I read your comments as I, too, hear ‘voices’ asking ‘what’s she doing now? Taking another photo??’ .....
Maybe we need some ‘medication’ for the voices in our head?!

Whoever thought Barbed wire could look this beautiful? great job Rosalie!

my god this is beautiful !!!! Very well shot!
Great focus. The web holding the water droplets is magnificent. The patina of the wire has grown to match the color of the vegetation in the blurred background. You really discovered a winner hear and shot it very well !
buddy

May I add my appreciation of this beautiful piece to the collection….

Great spot!! Incredible details and color!!

Thanks heaps Jeanne!

Pin sharp focus, composition is good and love the very shallow DOF, nice job Rosalie.

Wow, you are so creative with the camera & your eyes, this is fabulous Rosalie, so marvelous with the rain drops

Great, wonderful photo Cabangbang! :) The wire looks green?.. Cool shot!

G’day Rosalie,

This has been very well done with good photography and processing rendering a well composed and interesting study of the working part of barbed wire.
A very good choice of wire section, very well composed, made at an interesting angle, technically very good and with the exposure and processing making full use of that lovely morning light.
A spider web AND dew drops adds a very nice touch to the image and give it “life”.
Great bokeh and very sharp focus with wonderful colours.
But that light….............!!!!!
Great work kiddo!

Simply elegant and strong!!!!!

What else can I add, that hasn’t already been said…....I love it Rosalie!!
To me, the web looks almost glass-like. Brilliant work!!

Ignore the voices Rosalie. They know not what they see.
Great light & processing. (I won’t ask).

You’re talent is endless, Rosalie !!! You seem to make something beautiful out of the smallest and sometimes roughest things in His Creation !! Awesome !!!!

You have done it so well here, Rosalie, those water drops and barbed wire composite recalls me minivesrses bound with a cosmic string!!!!

A macro world with a cosmic relevence :D

Rosalie, what a great shot….what can I say, everyone has said it all. Beautiful!

The amount of comments this has got amazes me ,l hated it when on the farm & here it is getting A-1 point score

Thanks Deb and Blossom …

Thanks Deb and Dad for the great comments – dad all the old wire needed was a bit of prettying up – we all have some glamour in us somewhere, hidden away.!

Razor sharp. well done

WOW! This image is so awesome! The web just something so very unique! Love it!

excellent work, great focus and choice of subject

i love this image love the colours well done

Beautiful!!!! Goes to show you can find beauty anywhere, you just have to look!

A very lovely Macro Rosalie!! The composition, clarity and choice of subject very creative!!

Where to start?
Well, first, the greens are strikingly and wonderfully warm. Nice choise of WB again.
The lighting is exquisite, I love the lighted part of the background behind the focos point and that this is fading towards the edges.
The web and the water droplets are just gorgeous.
Finally, the composition is excellent. Well spotted, great work.

Love it – amazing how barbed wire can look so beautiful.

John, Solareclips and Carisma – thank you!

Great work Rosa, really great work!!

RD you excel yourself in this one.
absolutly fantastic.

ive had a pretty busy time lately.
new job – no longer an IT guy, soon to have a new house (going 1/5th with my parents – being single its impossible to afford a house otherwise).. getting a live show organised for my music, new laptop delivered yesterday – so the live set is moving forward… been organising a fringe festival show for next year….
then we had the heatwave before that – my internet connection wasnt working too well for that period, and due to the heat i was basically a week with migraines (had my nose op recently and sinuses playing up..).. oh and yesterday my external HDD almost died.. so been backing up..
in short me= busy.

lol. just who i am really. single for 7 year now lol.
:)

Very nice close-up!

Fabulous monochromatic here, love the whole thing from composition to lighting…

Stunning shot. Great shot & eye.

Thanks Ellen, Digitalmidge and Dave for your kind comments.

Adore this Rosalie, I have a love affair with barbed wire too, it has such beauty, and wow your capture here is fantastic, great eyes see more than the obvious beauty around us, well done!

Leaves me speechless.. what an incredible eye you have …and what an amazing talent you have to turn the ordinary onto the extraordinary.

An unique and beautiful photo. Superb DoF.

really like the colors and the light in this you wouldnt think a bit of barb wire could look so good

I love this! great composition, light, color, everything!

Thanks very much! Yes (reading your description of this image)... I can also be found in odd nooks and crannies ignoring the “big picture”.
cheers,
Tom

Different and wonderful. Love it Rosalie

G’day Rosalie! Are you overwhelmed (at all the positive responses and praise) yet?
I certainly am! Deeply honoured to have observed you taking this picture, I wondered at the time what it was that you saw. And how you saw it as a piece of finished art. Now I know, I’m even more in awe of your powers of creativity and observation!

Excellent and very beautiful work

You do have the eye Rosalie!! Excellent macro work.

Thank you Thea and Ted – pleased it catches your artists eyes!
Theresa – thank you for your kind comments.

superb capture Rosalie… Love the colour and the fine details on the web/wire….! Great work!

fantastic capture. well spotted indeed. cheers

That’s really nice Rosalie, great clarity and delicate lighting.

Rosalie, I can understand your attraction to such things…I love seeing these tiny treasures too – they are so often overlooked!....this web of dewdrops is so dainty, fragile and exquisite, juxtaposed against the harshness of the barbed wire. What an awesome capture!

love the contrast of the delicate web and the prickly barbed wire…so well done!!

Thank you all for your collective encouragement and for your favouritings.

How intriguing, great eye for simple beauty. I might also try converting this toB/w and cropping tighter, I think another image lurks within

Wonderful composition and lighting

great detail

Congrats on making the most popular group.
