    Gracious, Mary, there's no doubt that you've learned how to make rust jump up and squeal. thumb.gif My only nit with this series is that the scenes are over-crowded with visual elements....too much to try and focus on.

    In the first one, I would have zeroed in on that object in the top, left-center of the frame.

    In the second, there are several good targets.....the fender behind the headlight or the portion of the bumper below it.

    In the third, I might have gone for more of the dominating thingie at the top or, perhaps, that object at the bottom left with all the yellow on it.

    Small nits, for sure. You have definitely earned your position as a bona fide RUST JUNKIE.

    Mary clap.gifclapclap.gif You are the rust queen! Great texture and tones. I agree with Tom on trying to separate details instead of overwhelming the viewer. Great stuff though.

    Howdy Tom ...

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these photos. I agree with you that they are full of 'visual' :D I did do one that I was going to share later, but will share now :D I was going more for the abstract in the rust. To me that's natures art. The others I will go through and single out certain subjects. I like when people share their thoughts. It really helps me .. thanks thumb.gifD

    Thank you for the honor of the 'Rust Queen' ... I accept it proudly :D

    You and Tom are right ... I need to pick a subject. I love it when I can learn from all of you. It surely helps me grow as a photographer :D

    Thanks for commenting :D

    Great Caesars!!! Call the law....anything this good has to be illegal. I knew from your original that this abstract could be quite something, but this is insanely good. I'd have that on my wall tomorrow. Way to go, Mary.

    Thank you Tom :D Abstracts found in rust is just plain 'fun and adventurous' when hunting for it.

    It will be printed along with a few other one's I've worked on.

    Glad you enjoyed it :D

    Mary, that abstract version is definitely "it." If you are the Rust Queen, may I be your Rust Lady-in-Waiting? I could carry your camera on a velvet pillow.

    I'd say all us ladies that have the love of rust are Rust Queens :Dthumb.gif

    Glad you like the abstract version. I've printed out an abstract rust in metallic. Looks awesome.

    I was hesitate when I printed out my first rust photo using metallic printing, but thought if anything was made for metallic printing it would be rust :D

    Haven't done a big photo of it yet. Did 5x7's. Now that I know what it looks like .. I'm going to do a big printing.
