    Great one here, Don. I would crop out the black space at top left. Real good PP work.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks for looking, Tom, and commenting. I'll revisit this. I was trying to maximize the visible rust!

    Aaahhhh!! I like it!! clap.gifclap Richard nailed it when he said that it's not just about rust. We should still try to compose and mean something.

    I think that small crop really improved this shot, Don. There's nothing now to pull the eyes away from the rest of the image. In fact, if I were hanging a select group of rust shots, I would include this one. Well done.clap.gif
