Your photo makes me wonder and imagine who passed through there in yester years! Very nice colors.

A very nice image - I too love the colors - white, rust, green, blue, grey, brown - it's got 'em all! The only nit I'd pick is that the front-and-center panel is blown out. Do you have any leeway in the original shot (RAW?) to knock it down a little?

The highlighted panel may be too bright for your taste, but technically I'd say it isn't blown-out. I do believe it's about the brightest white that still retains useful detail. The brightest highlights I read in Photoshop measured R, G, and B channels of 250, 251 and 250, respectively. In the full sized version it's easier to see. Had they been at or nearer 255 I'd agree.

Could your monitor be a bit bright?

Hi Karen,

I really love the composition of the shot and I think it works so well to have all that rustic metal and for it to be a blacksmith's shop. Fantastic entry.

Karen:

Good choice of perspective. I like the abundance of brown in the rusted objects, earth and bare tree in the background (convenient that it's your winter).

Some day I'd love to visit your fabulous country, with camera.

Cheers,
Rich

Yeah, I see what you're saying, maybe blown-out was the wrong word as I do see the vertical lines of the corrugation. I guess I just meant it's a little overwhelming - It just makes me squint a bit. But like I said, it's a nit - it's a really nice shot!
