Sentries at Sunset by taffy

Sentries at Sunset

This started as part of Nicola's get-pushed challenge to me this week, to look at everyday things from an unusual angle. But, once I got into processing, I started having fun with it, so it's more an ETSOOI shot now, converting a rather bland black iron fence into something that fits EOTB (love all these acronyms that make total sense within this community! If only I could fit in DoF and POV somehow!). I thought the iron fence posts looked a bit like sentries at attention with a somewhat overdone sunset in the background. I may not have natural sunsets here like we've had on the island, but I can always create one!
great pov, I've had a shot like this in mind, but not with this great processing!

Wonderful shot, Taffy. Love the colors and shapes!

I like how it blurs when it goes into the background, and that you have the spectrum of colors all here.

Fav - love the lines, repeating pattern and super colors! Fun!

Fab POV Taffy, I love photographing old fences but don't normally process them like this. You had a lot of fun doing this and is great on large.

Excellent POV, and I love the way you processed it. Well done!

@annied Heehee!! You almost did it -- what about DoF??? Couldn't fit that in?? So funny!
August 28th, 2013  
@elaine55 It's actually not that old a fence -- it's the one that goes around the front of our house (2 unit condo) and is so typical of ones all over the city. If I hadn't had the get pushed challenge to photograph something common in an unusual way, I don't think I would have shot this. And I did have a great time with the processing!
