Downspout...

...found in the garden of an abandoned house - I was fascinated by the riot of different textures here. (Converted to B&W and quad-toned in PS.)

Pops nicely viewed on black!

[Helene]

love the use of b&w and the little water reflection

[Susan]

nice capture and love the processing in b&w, Richard!

[Decima F]

Fabulous b&w rendering

[Maggiemae]

The house wall still looks strong and obviously the rain is still caught from this down pipe! Makes a good picture!

[Graeme Stevens]

Superb textures although this shot has left me feeling drained...I bet that "punchline" wasn't worth the wait

[Alexandra DG]

simply lovely - fav

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

The textures on this are wonderful! And yes, it does pop on B&W!

[gloria jones]

Great b&w shot which brings out the textures, shapes...great composition

[Annie D]

so much texture - i love how the downpipe slows it all down

[Joan Robillard]

There is a lot going on textural wise in this picture.

[Amy Kirk]

Wow, this is really nice. The vines and grasses are so diverse. The downspout acts as a leading line for the eyes.

[Larry L]

really like the "feel" of this!

[April]

Those textures do really pop on black. The lines are nice too.

[Margo Sayer]

Views well on black

[Jocasta]

Fabulous riot of different textures

[Issi Bannerman]

A riot of textures it is indeed. Lovely shot.

[Christine]

Good b&w
