Hi, wandering around a friends farm I found the top of a fence post with these fencing staples - they must have been spare and 'ready for use if needed'!

Thanks for looking - C&C always appreciated.

Cheers, Richard.

    I like this a lot. Either the light or your processing is spot on. Nice catch!

    Hi Rainbow, I guess a bit of both - however the evening light did help. Thank you for your comment.

    Cheers,Richard.

    Hi Don, the only 'fairies' on this farm are the 'Splendid Fairy Wrens' (give them a 'google' to see one of the prettiest birds around :D ). Thank you for your nice comment.

    Cheers, Richard.

    Hi Azzaro, Glad you liked it. Even though it was evening - the light was very strong so I just darkened and softened it a bit. Thank your for your comment.

    Cheers, Richard.

    Hi, I did take a number of shots with varying DOF - I was happy with the final result.

    Cheers, Richard.
