Brian,
Very beautiful rendering of what would normally not be a beautiful subject.
Nicely done.

Yep, I'm a girl, and I just LOVE your rusty, greasy bolts and metal! My daddy owned a sheet metal shop...I work at another one today..it's in the blood! LOVE the tones and sepia treatment here Brian! Really nice work! An example of photography at it's best! The subject doesn't have to be anything profound, the quality speaks for itself!

Brain Hi:
This straight forward macro in your sepia series is well done. This is a very difficult subject to make pleasing to the eye but you have succeeded to that end. For me it also has a mood about it, hard work, history and stories I wish we could hear. Congratulaitons, very well done, my friend.

Hi BRIAN

Good lighting texture & tonal range in this superb b&w image. The rusty nuts & bolts make a fine still life subject. Tfs!

Excellent tone Brian!

I like the very feel. It's like they were forgotten by time. Well thought scene!

Cheers!

I have tried to do this on constructions sites, but I must say that you have succeeded where I have failed too badly to post on TL.
I love the details in this and the PP work has turned to every-day and imperfect into extraordinary and admirable.
The vignetting really helps with this -- expertly done

Hello Brian - you do take some intriguing and thought-provoking images with very appropriate pp work thrown in. You have a knack for lifting everyday objects - junk even - into the realms of pictorial art. This is an excellent example of that talent.

Wow! It's even more interesting than the previous one...I love the textured feel and the composition, the sepia conversion, the frame, the well-placed, subtle signature...Well, I love it all! Just the way it is! :)
