Rusty Rooster B&W

This is a little garden ornament and I spent the day wondering what to shoot for todays word RUST. Of course I didn't remember him until it was dark and so I was searching around a rather large flower bed with a torch just now!

He doesn't work so well in B&W, but I wanted to keep up the theme! So his colour version is in the other album!

He was a tricky little so and so, not least because his wire feet have got rather bent and he doesn't stand up so well.......several times he was startled by the flash and fell over mid shot!

Hope you didn't hurt his feelings too much great capture of a really well weathered and rusty ornament the colour version is also a great image !

Love it - gorgeous textures. I was just thinking back to the Iron Chicken in "The Clangers" though...

@nicolaeastwood Good on you! I look forward to seeing it ;o))

@steampowered Oh errr, prompted by you I just googled the Clangers, one of my favourites as a child, and I discovered that the whistles were words the opening line of Clnager speak in the Iron Chicken Episode is "oh Sod it the bloody thing's stuck again!" Go on listen in....... http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=wfsMZKwqw3w&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DwfsMZKwqw3w
