Rust_DSC9345

I wanted to try something different today. Rust is one of the words for April, so I went hunting around Graham's shed to see what I could find. Interestingly, the things that first caught my eye didn't work. I liked the colours and textures in this one. I tried a few different aperture settings, but this was my preferred shot.
For April 16 words, rust

great shot a fav

[Hazel]

Extremely effective. Is that a bit of lichen growing on the rust?!

[Merrelyn]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel, it's a bit of old spider web.

[Gayle]

i do love a bit of rust...nicely done

[Madeleine Pennock]

Nice detail here. Well composed as a diagonal image. My only comment is to darken the bottom right corner and the top left corner. Light areas will always distract the eye. Well done!

An interesting bit of vegetation attached to the rusty bolt :)
