#8 Weathered yes - Polished, not so much...

OhEddie

Weathered is everywhere, and polished, at least polished that sparks my photo bug, is is hard to find. So I am going for the weathered part of the challenge.

I already have an entry, but I had some time to hit the back roads and came back with quite a few. It's hard to choose. What's your IMHO's?

Oh, yes, I have a thing for locks.:lust

#1 - Blue Door



#2 - Bucking Dogs



#3 - Lock



#4 - Lock



#5 - Lock



#6 - Lock



#7 - Lock



#8 - Old Glory



#9 - Water Tower



#10 Train Station


#11 - Current Entry

The blue door has very nice colors... most of the lock and hasp shots, the lock looks too new the other shots are good as well, I prefer the blue door...

Old Glory if you can crop it a bit different to include more stars and cut out that bottom stripe

I like #4, except for the little piece of light in the black between the door and the frame.

I do like your current entry though, those gears are neat.

I really like 5, 7 and 10 - cool shots!

Hmmm, not really a consensus here.

Winston, I have to agree about the locks not being weathered as much as I would like. A good weathered lock is hard to find :cry

Pyro, I have one of old glory zoomed out, but it doesn't look all that weathered. I zoomed in to highlight the rust.

Idiom, that's why I like to get opinions. I never thought about that spot of light, but now I can't look at it and not agree with you. It's gotta go.

I was hoping to get more opinions. Well, maybe tomorrow.

You have a nice set here. I really like #8 and just wish that left star wasn't cropped out. Can you reshoot that one with a bit less zoom and then crop it so that the rust still stands out and all 3 stars are visible?

OhEddie

Linda,

I thought, since I did not have a shot of the whole flag, I would just simplify it to 3 stars. Here is the full image.




Maybe I was just over thinking the whole thing
