TWO PEGS by phil_howcroft

TWO PEGS

This has probably been done before on 365, but pegs do make a nice subject to photograph.

I took a few pictures, some against the background of green bushes and some against the background of the wall.

I actually liked the starkness of the wall as its colour blends nicely with the pegs.

I did think of cropping the picture really close and showing the springs and therefore making the image slightly abstact (as even with a big crop the bits seem sharp). However in the end I went for the original picture. I boosted the saturation a tad in photoshop elements, so about 2 clicks of post processing editing
love the colors.

I like the colors too! I love how all of the colors are fire colors and then the wire adds contrast by being purple. And the brick wall adds interest too witht he white lines.

@lauren211 thanks for your nice comments Lauren, I'm suprised how sharp the image turned out, because it was very windy in the UK today and the pegs flapped around quite a bit.

Great color and nice sharp image. So I read today you were interested in street shots. Good luck it is my favorite way to shoot.

Now these are some wild pegs, or as we call them in the US "clothespins" You asked about how I created my Year of the Rabbit collage. It is done easily with the paid subscription to picnik. (You can also use picnik for free, but i find the additional effects available with the yearly subscription are worth the price.)

@kerristephens Thnka kerri, I'm suprised how popular the colours are, they are quite old pegs and a little faded.
