    Well seen. Might also be good as a B&W high contrast.

    Thanks! I might try it in b&w but I like the contrast and color the yellow lines provide.

    Well captured...image!!

    Lock, key and puzzle.

    I wonder what would happen if the circular dial (hole covering) was turned slightly, a quarter turn counter-clockwise? Would everything disappear? Would the green road marker launch or sink into the ground? Would the world be set right again, as everything has lined up? Would the site super go back and reset the cover's alignment? Be honest, how many would sneak back at night and adjust the cover's alignment?

    Wonderfully imagined and creatively presented, Cristóbal 👏🏼

    Gato, thanks for your comment, always thoughtful and interesting. Personally, I think that if the dial clicked into position, the hole would open and the world would sink into it... only to reappear somewhere else.

    Well, buddy, as you might surmise, this image rocks the boat of those unfortunate enough to suffer from the tyranny of symmetry. Just kidding.. I do agree that the yellow line adds to the picture. It's very interesting, and educational, to see the variety of reactions amongst our group to various images.

    Tom believe or not I consider myself mildly OCD. Of course there are differences of opinion, my wife doesn’t use the word mildly…! Photography allows me to explore different boundaries.

    Keep well.

    You make a very good, point, Cristóbal. Considering my rust work, which is anything but symmetrical, it's the one endeavor I have in photography that allows me to be totally free....no protocols, no boundaries, nothing to interfere with unbridled self expression. That, more than any other consideration, is what fuels my fire in photography. Stay safe, my friend.
