A very interesting photo. Love the blur and repetition.

Thank you! Many people went by trying to figure out what I was taking picture of...

[Milanie]

What interesting dof - the detail you focused on is fascinating - great in b&w.

[Kylie Martin]

Nice dof

[Vera]

Thanks, Milanie and Kylie! It was also fascinating in color - all of the pillars were fairly light, and that one was damaged and had lots of moisture in it so it turned all dark, green and mossy.

I enjoy the detail of the moss and I think this photo looks great in b&w.

[Vera]

@kerrynz Thanks, Kerry!

[Joan]

Great capture.. FAV! Following you now..

[Vera]

@jporcaro Thank you, Joan! I am sure there will be some photography-poor days you wish you would not have followed me, but I will try to do my best :)

[Joan]

@vera365 Not to worry - we all have those days..sometimes a few days in a row even! You have got a whole year to grow and learn. Take care. Joan

love use of repetition in this photo. The black and white also makes this a very strong image. great photo!

[Vera]

@juleswuellner Thanks! I looked at it today in colour and "the day after" I also though that actually, the colour one works too. Theo only thing is - the castle fence is ugly yellow, not my favorite.

[Kathryn Macaluso]

Love the texture and depth of field. Looks like we are both getting started on Project 365 at the same time. Enjoy!

[Vera]

@katymac80 Thanks, Kathryn! Let's see what it will turn into :) And congratulations on your start too!

[Laura]

I love your point of view, texture and choice of b&w over colour. Fav for sure

[Vera]

Thank you, Laura! @lauramalone82

[Adam]

This is great detail, and a great study of grey and contrast. Looks very good in black and white. Nice photo. Well done.

[Vera]

Thank, you Adam! @adambralston

Great shot - love the use of depth of field to bring out this particular moss covered 'pawn'
