I like the enormous screws next to the lovely plank of wood showing it's grain, then the dirt and wood chips underneath. Lovely contrasts, elemental.

April 30th, 2012  
Nice lights and shadows Maggie !
April 30th, 2012  
@mantha Thank you, Sam!

@carolinedreams Such wonderful comments! Thank you so much, Caroline! Perhaps I should've titled it "Rusty Nuts." LOL!

@joeboxster Thank you, Joe! Whatcha think? Because of Caroline's comment above yours, I'm thinking of changing the title to "Rusty Nuts." LOL!

@tobi Thank you, Santina! It certainly is not a traditional photo. Appreciate your comments!
May 1st, 2012  
LOVE the textures ... that lighting and shadow is excellent!! Stunning work on this one, girlfriend.
May 1st, 2012  
@karenann After careful thought, I think this is one I should've saved to convert to black and white for the artist challenge. Shooting for black and white is a whole different ball game for me than shooting for color! I really didn't take a decent color shot all day. LOL! Appreciate your kind comments and visit, Karen! Most appreciate of them and your support. Thank you! xo
May 1st, 2012  
Lots of great textures, for sure - nice composition.

May 1st, 2012  
Again, stunning lighting and textures. Well done. And LOLOLOL at the title!
May 1st, 2012  
@dishaparekh176 Ha ha! I need to figure out how to get my bum in the picture so I can do what @joeboxster said and call it "rusty nuts and butts!" Thank you for your comments and visit, Disha! Always appreciated!
May 1st, 2012  
Simple but yet so cool. This is great.
May 1st, 2012  
Dang it! Why can't I get my pictures so absorbed in this light I'll never understand!
Thanks for sharing and I do check-out the EXIF file for info.

@marlboromaam I've been having problems lately with the white balance. Your pic has the 'filtered look' of softness. I know how to capture the correct white balance - I just seem to be having a problem during post. I suppose I need to step back and stop being so dern critical of my own work!
Make sense?
Cheers...
May 2nd, 2012  
@ronbee Might it have something to do with Perfect Photo Suite's special effects I put it through?
May 2nd, 2012  
@marlboromaam Not At All !
You are one Super Photographer! :)
Cheers my friend!
May 2nd, 2012

@zela Thank you, Alena!
May 4th, 2012  
I love those rusty nuts Maggie once again you've got great detail.

You mentioned converting to monochrome , I think this is an ideal shot for some monochrome work, mainly because of the superb tones and wide range of light , shade and detail
May 4th, 2012  
@phil_howcroft Thank you so much, Phil! It is in black and white! Check out my "Challenges and Themes" album when you have time. Always grateful your visit!
May 4th, 2012  
@phil_howcroft Oops! It's in my "Extras" album. Sorry!
May 4th, 2012  
@marlboromaam Maggie I'm way behind, not had a good week from a photography point of view , I'm working through your pics as part of my 'catchup', I'll get to your monochrome soon :)
May 4th, 2012  
@phil_howcroft I understand! No hurry on my account! Life happens to 365 a bunch for me, too!
May 4th, 2012  
That's some rusty metal! You're really good at capturing a woodland mood with the light and shadows!
May 5th, 2012  
@cjphoto I am a sucker for rusty old things. Don't know why. LOL! Thank you for your lovely comments, Chris!
May 5th, 2012  
@michaelelliott Have to correct you sir... what you are looking at are machine bolts. Lag bolts (aka lag screws) are screws. Machine bolts have a nut! In the new world it doesn't make a difference, once rusted they are Manflowers!
May 6th, 2012  
@michaelelliott They could also be carraige bolts... not seeing the head you can't tell, but they could be! LOL LOL!!!
May 6th, 2012  
@hown @michaelelliott Both ends look just alike, fellas! There was an old tractor on my place at one time and I think they probably had something to do with that and/or the machinery that attached to it, like a hay mower or a baler.
