Hung outside our log cabin in Western Maryland many Falls ago. See "B&W" for more info. It IS a great place for photography, quaintness, lost in the woods, gourmet food for cabins and maybe a few "outsiders" attending...

Thanks "Mich"! I was not expecting the color version to work as well here.

Great textures Dan and I like how it's isolated against that background. Really tells a story.

Thanks Scott!
Each cabin had "something" forest related hanging from the porch. My Canon 180mm Macro did the job. The bokeh was what really caught me when I process it.
Thanks brother!

I liked the B&W, but the color version really shows nice patina. Nice job, Dan!

Yes I agree Monika! The color composition shows the reflection of the maple trees that were all in yellow onto the trap! I felt the color one also brought out the patina better and more pronounced!
Thanks!

It's the color one that works best for me in this situation.

Either way, nicely done!

Thanks Larry! As I do also. I am sure the b&w could be equally as nice but it is still a work in progress in my B&W workflow.

Ok Bill, Here is my Victor Trap.2 versions from 2 different times and placements.
These are about 15 years old. In the one image in the window frame..I just now noticed a female foot appearing in the lower right corner near the railing and trap..It is female because in the original, the toenails are painted.
I have another image of the same trap from September 2000 and the trap is downstairs at McCathran Hall.

I also like the image. There is an inherent contrast of danger, ambuscade, antique, lovely colors, and a reflection of a remote setting, like the log cabin. You can almost visualize it hanging there.

Thanks Marc! The trap is a "prop" for what I do not know. It is about 7-8ft tall.....
When the spring on this trap engages, I think it would split anything it "trapped" in 2.
Thanks!
