I might ask to have that etched into my tomb-stone! I must post some more aesthetically pretty shots...to redress the balance.

You done some very pleasant looking shots in some well-groomed gardens and posh houses too Andrew don't forget! I wouldn't hurry unduly trying to get away from the industrial era.

There all good. I like 3 for the contrast between the plant and the rusting metal. How about a tight crop to include just the plant and the round thing?

Thanks i-Berg. No chance of this, I'm afraid. I studied the 19th century for A-level (not long after its conclusion, actually) and it's been a favourite period of mine ever since.I wouldn't hurry unduly trying to get away from the industrial era.

I like the tight, square(ish) composition but miss the splash of oily colour to the right. Not sure which is "best".
Best wishes,

Andrew lovely set again.
I really like how you're able to capture the textures.
About the last edited photo, i prefer the original one, the edited one seems too closed up/restrictive (can't find the word i'm looking for :blush

Thanks Stefan, "tight" would probably do in this context, and you may be right.I really like how you're able to capture the textures.
:blush
As for "how", I don't know, really, it's just decent (not brilliant, in this case) light; a good (but again, not "great") lens; moderate apertures (I don't push my luck with very small or very large apertures on my modest lenses); in-camera shake reduction (too lazy to use a tripod most of the time and the places I go are often too awkward to set one up) and my wonderful camera, of course!
Sorry, this is not very helpful. I'm certainly not gifted like Robert Mapplethorpe (in any sense!!!)
Best wishes,
Andrew

Having seen the tight crop I'm not so sure now! The original gives some sort of context I think. Interesting to compare though, thanks.
