secure

today is a holiday in Ontario and despite the frigid temperatures, i took myself and the camera for a walk on lake Ontario... it was actually pretty glorious and i expect i will spend the better part of the week revisiting some of the photos i took...

this is one of the many love locks on the humber bridge and is for my push challenge set by @aecasey - to incorporate words within the frame of the photograph...

@aecasey - possibly i should have aimed for one of the scrawled love messages, but somehow, that didn't appeal... and the symbolism of this one did :)

Nice to get out and have some time to yourself, yes? Even in the cold. Love the icy bokeh and secure lock! Nicely done.

didn't the camera complain, like emitting sounds of "eeekkkk" repeatedly as you focus. my canon does that. or maybe it was the lens complaining. at least -18 is not so bad. this is nice, kiddo.

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent shot

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love that spot of backlight. :)

[KWind]

Pretty! Love the lighting.

[Pam Knowler]

Beautiful image - wonderful light!!

[Kane Arlow]

Lovely shot. I like the light surrounding the padlock.

[emily tull]

lovely

[April]

Ah yes ... love locks! We don't have such things here. Nice incorporation and so appropriate.

[Judith Greenwood]

Cool shot but is it just me that doesn't find them very romantic?!

[Lindy]

Fabulous shot. I am only amazed that there is a bridge where you can find one padlock on its own. Great lighting as always.

[Yolanda]

Cool shot!!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[April]

I keep revisiting this in my mind ... it has staying power.

[Margaret Obey]

I love the lighting in this.

[gloria jones]

This shot looks wonderful on black...great focus, dof, composition, light

[Maggiemae]

The love locks mean the love is locked into the heart, @judithg! Not that I would do it! All our NZ idiot public put bras or sandshoes on fences!

[Amy-lee Edwards]

I love how you play and use light, its inspirational x

[Jocasta]

Fabulous b&w - worked with the Northy magic.

[Anne ❀]

I like how the name of the lock describes its function too. Nicely done.

[Amrita]

Superb! So secure.

[Taffy]

Love the simplicity of this, and the lighting.

I really like the composition! That bokeh light right on the lock, perfect!

[Sally Ings]

Cool lighting

[Bill Fenske]

Excellent comp, light, bokeh and shallow dof. Love it all

[Ingrid Budge]

mmm great word for a lock on the love bridge, wonderful light

[Sheralee S]

Beautiful lighting and I like how you included this particular word, I feel like there's a message in this shot... looks like it could be used in advertising.
