Flash of Red 7

I was in town today for a meet-up with several photographers. We get together once a month and discuss some of our artistic process and critique each other's pictures too. We were discussing color today-so it's sort of quirky I left them and took a black and white shot! Unfortunately I didn't really accomplish what I wanted to here. I was trying to capture the pattern of the railing going in one direction and then another. I don't think I quite got the look I was going for but, I'm positing it anyway! Back to texture tomorrow.

This did make an interesting shot the way you composed it. Like it in b&w - shows up well.

[Diane]

I like the lines of the railing. And it's great in B&W.

[Lou Ann]

Marvelous patterns really.

[katy]

Nice edit to give it a romantic feel with the curly designs

[Shutterbug]

I think it’s a good choice for b&w. Did you add a vignette?

[aikimomm (phoebe)]

I'm often taken with wrought-iron curlicues, too -- this is so nicely composed.

[Mrspedwards]

this works really well!!

[Babs]

Love the patterns.

[Mave]

I like this. Fav!

[Casablanca]

Love the idea, even if it didn't turn out how you wanted! I do enjoy curved iron like this - reminds me of the waves in the sea.

[Joan Robillard]

Can't you see a cartoon character using that for a slide. Oh go get more coffee. ok

[Laura]

Amazing.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful!

[Jeff lowe]

Great set up and some lovely texture

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love your pov and all the shapes.

[bkb in the city]

Love the view of the doors through the rail

[Sheralee S]

I like your treatment of this. Somehow it makes me feel like I'm sneaking a look through the railing. Very well done.

[Pyrrhula]

A great find, focus and editing on this pic..

[Kathy]

I feel like I'm taking a peak at this rail.

[Henri Russell]

very nice in black and white.

[Islandgirl]

Great b&w.............and patterns!

@shutterbug49 Yes, I did.

@bella_ss Thank you for the fav Sheralee!

[Marnie]

I do like the patterns in this shot and the areas of rust and peeling paint add visual interest to the photo.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@golftragic Thank you Marnie!

[Rob Z]

The contrasting patterns give it such depth.

[Ann H. LeFevre]
