Art or Junk ?

I love the way Schmoo is able to transform old dicarded machinery into veritable works of art. While on a meander the other day, I came across the object below sitting out on someone,s front lawn.:scratch



I thought I'd have a go at isolating various parts and tweaking them. Be kind, this whole artsy thing is new to me.

I really like #4 and the last one, #5. Way to go.

Why on earth would anyone want that on their front lawn
Hmmmm well I'm sure if it was on my fathers lawn,
he'd be telling my mother "it might come in handy some day"

See it did have a use after all, you could take photos of it.

I like the last abstract shot .......... Skippy

That is a jet turbine! Pretty exspensive yard ornament!!


Of these I like the last shot the most as well. Lots of potential with that piece if you can get permission to get a lot closer.

Hi Jack,

I like #2 & #5 best - the light, composition & shapes; and your PP is a very nice treatment for this.

Agree with Aaron Newman: "Lots of potential with that piece..."

Take care,

John, for your first time out the gate you got some nice results. Keep at it
and pretty soon it will become like second nature to your skill sets.

That last one is excellent. I've always had trouble with this kind of photography, it's definitely not my best - but I see excellent potential in your composition!

Not a great advertisement for air travel safety IMO!!! Makes you wonder how it got there! Neat shots and I like your first attempt at composing and processing these. My only nit would be that they could be sharper, although you probably weren't carrying around a tripod! Good find.
