Autumn Rust by olivetreeann

Autumn Rust

I discovered an old mailbox on my walk around Stroudsburg last week. I thought the patterns that the rust made was beautiful.
Great colors

Interesting capture...:)

Beautiful. There is something about rust that draws one in!
October 2nd, 2013  
I agree. I like the composition that presents not only the rust patterns but the lines of the seams that balance the photo.

Nice shot, Ann! It looks abstract! Great colors and texture. If you hadn't said it was an old mailbox, I'd have never have known. Well done :)

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@tuya Thank you Claire!
@salza Thank you Sally! Yes, I agree!
@dakotaburns Thank you Donald! I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. Although this was in a shadow, I was somewhat shooting into the sun and couldn't quite see my screen!
@moreyoulessme Thank you Jerri! You're right- there is not much color in it anymore so it doesn't say "mailbox"!
@jesperani Thank you Jennifer!
@megmills Thank you Meg!
@httpgeffed Thank you Colleen! This one was good and rusty!
@henrir Thank you Henri! I agree- I don't I've ever seen a rust shot and thought, "Why did they shoot that?"
@prttblues Thanks Bev! Yes, it's really faded so you cant' tell that's what it is.

There is something special about this photo Ann, I really like it.

@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@nicolecampbell Thank you Nicole! I think it is one of the best abstracts I've done. I really like the contrast between the metal and rust, plus the composition which gives you no clues as to what it really is.

It definitely gives it a nice look. Ann, I checked with the others, and it looks like it will just be Josie and I making the trip to Bushkill Falls. My brother Gary just bought a house and he is busy getting it ready to move in. My sister cannot walk the trails, so if you are still open, it will just be the two of us. October 12th?

cool shot
October 3rd, 2013  
Love it!I would tag it for circles too!
October 3rd, 2013  
Lovely!

@digitalrn That will be great Rick! I'm hoping to get Jeff to tag along too- and you are welcome to come back to the house for lunch or dinner depending on what time we go. Thanks for the comment too!
@twr Thank you Timothy!
@mzzhope Thank you Hope! It doesn't qualify for the weekly theme because it was taken before the start date. But I will be keeping my eyes open for other possibilities!
@sangwann Thank you Dione!

Fabulous rust shot --the color is so rich and the pattern of the metal is great geometry.

@taffy Thank you Taffy! I've been working more with contrast and am discovering that it really helps with texture too.

really interesting how this could be massive or small - love the colour contrasts and design
