Cool Abstract: Katie's Rose (64)

![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 2847 W: 263 N: 5947]](http://i1.treklens.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (23586) | My submission to the “Cold Abstract” theme for this Friday is a simple one. It is merely a flower of rust, blooming on the hood of my late and dearly beloved Geo Metro.
She was a delightful shade of purple, the same shade (originally) as the purple of my university crest. I bought her new while I was studying at Wilfrid Laurier University and she took me back and forth from Oakville to Waterloo (about an hour and a quarter each way) almost every day.
Her rich grape colour earned her the name of Katherine the Grape, and she was soon nicknamed Katie. In keeping with my punny nature, it was just the thing, for this way, if she ever got a ticket (she never did), I could just say “See what Katy did?”
:)
This photograph was taken on the day I retired her and replaced her with the anonymous 2000 silver Saturn I now drive - a car that will be some day replaced by another one with enough character to once again earn a name of its own!
Because this is from the oldest section of my archives, there is little to tell you in terms of technical details. At that point I was new to TrekLens and was still shooting with my Coolpix 5700 set on Automatic. I was more concerned about composition that about controlling the other aspects of the photographic process.
Many thanks to the anonymous persons who ordered me to "pack up and leave" TrekLens. Your e-mail encouraged me to come back in full force.
To everyone else: thanks for looking for critiquing , for suggestions on how this might be improved.
To EVERYONE: have a safe, happy and healthy weekend :) |
