Mundane Paperclip 1

First attempt at the Mundane Challenge- I deliberately underexposed it for a richer charcoal color.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I love this, Anne! You took the mundane and made it magnificent!

It looks a bit like a mouse-trap! Lying in wait!

Great job Ann. I love the perspective and am very impressed with the close-up.

NOT mundane at all! A perfect capture, wonderful pov, great texture! I'd say that this will end up on pp!

Fantastic composition, pov and processing...beautifully captured =)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@tanja_1211 Thank you Tanja! I prefer this one over the other. I'm glad you like it.

[summerfield]

hehehe! it looks like something with a wide-open mouth ready to pounce and eat, kinda like the pac-man!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@summerfield Thanks Vikki! I have no idea what I was going for here- probably just something that would be a little different but get the job done!
