This is really an interesting shot ... in a good way too. ;D. I really like the texture of the wood and the metal. Very good Gary.

I like the composition and the textures. I think that it will be better if you make it a little brighter.

@yiannis krikis: Thanks for letting me know that. I have been having computer issues again. I didn't even post yesterday because every time I move an image it changes. Density, color and contrast are so different I didn't know what it was ending up like in Am3. I will take it out and repost it. I will have to guess on the percentage to lighten since what I'm seeing is not accurate. I really appreciate your imput.

Yeah, I agree with yiannis... it does need to be a little darker to bring out more the texture in the wood. However, over and beyond that it is a stellar image for composition, framing, and mood. Love the lines of the 2x4's going vertical and horizontal.

@amy: Thanks Amy. I'm trying to fix it and repost it but it still keeps changing on me. Even if I just repost the same settings. I think I'm going to just wait till I get my computer back from the shop. I'll post to be sociable but I can't be held responsible.:-) Have a great weekend. By the way, it's going to be 80 degrees F
today.

Great shot, well spotted! have to agree with Yiannis. I would add a lttile brightness and some contrast.

@Michael: Thanks Michael for your help also but I think this machine has a mind of it's own. I'm at it's mercy till I get mine back. I appreciate the comments.

Nice mixture of wood and iron, the two textures together really make an interesting photo.

Another grat detail shot. I like capturing textures like this to use in creating borders, I never thought to make them photographic subjects in their own right.
