    I guess people don't care for rust as much as I thought. Not one comment in days. Contrary to perception, I don;'t bite. Say so if you don't like them and tell me how to improve. How else can I learn?

    Hey Alex,

    There's a lot of randomness in what gets responses on Dgrin, so don't take it too seriously. Just happens sometimes.

    That said, I don't think this series is as interesting as your other train posts. There's not nearly enough rust to qualify as a tetanus shot. You would need to fill the frame and make it almost abstract (and push the saturation) to make the rust junkies happy. Both #2 and #5 have the raw material, but you should have gotten much closer so as to make it unclear what we are seeing. Or you could have shown much more, as you did in your other posts. But these are neither fish nor fowl. It would be like working with a beautiful fashion model and only shooting her forearm. mwink.gif

    Good points Richard. That's what I want to hear. I do have those you are referring to, still unprocessed. The place is a boon and shot too many keepers. I do see your point and understand it. Helps me grow. Thanks!

    This is exactly the subject material I'm looking for for my latest series.

    I like the first shot... although the "police tape" catches my eye every time I look at the shot.

    They have that on many rusted cars to tell people to stay off of them. Good idea. I just cloned it out. Hopefully I did a good job. Thanks!

    #2 is my favorite, but I like them all. For some reason the way the steps are hanging there and bent really looks interesting.
