Cool shot. I like the color of rusted metal and brick. The lettering makes me want to open the lid and take a peek inside! Nice.

I like the symmetry of the shot, and in particular, the out-of-alignment of the word. While I find that to be a plus for your shot, I can never understand why, whomever was responsible for this casting/stamping, wouldn't have noticed that the word is not level


My internal struggle:

Analytical mind says: Everything has to be symmetrical

Artistic mind says: Something needs to be out-of-wack


I'm pulling for the artistic mind

The heavy vignetting in the corners is a nice touch. Did you add that in post-processing?

Its a nice shot. Networking certainly comes to mind as one of it values.

damonff

craig: yeah, when I upped the blacks/contrast in Lightroom, the underlying vignetting was accentuated...

thanks daddy-o
