This was taken at a ghost town in Arizona. I'm really beginning to love rust! My husband thinks I'm nuts! :D

    Show him our rust collections here and he'll understand the addiction. rolleyes1.gif I think your shot is screaming for some more texture. :D Nice work, Christina. thumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    Hi Christina,

    Very nicely captured, and, probably for most folks, it's well processed. We hardcore Rust Junkies, though, crave the extreme. A little more saturation, sharpening, and anything else to accentuate the texture present would benefit this shot. Keep in mind that it's all a case of personal taste but I can sense this scene is crying out to be " released ". Give it a go.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Oh yes this definitely has potential to become all that we rust junkies could ask for. Go ahead let yourself loose on it. Make it scream "I AM RUST"!

    A definite improvement but that jewel's got more shine in it still.

    Thanks, Eia! Husband still thinks I'm nuts, but that might not have anything to do with the rust photo. :D
