A great subject but I keep wanting to edge round to the left a bit to concentrate on the cans and exclude the OOF object on the right.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I love old oil cans Came out great considering that you started out to do a macro of a spider, but couldn't face moving all the oil cans

Thanks Andrew, I've got a little more work to do on this and will be cropping the "lump" off

Think the spider would have been long gone before sufficient cans had been moved Algi

I prefer the colour version Stan. You can't see the rust in the mono version.
I also prefer it uncropped.. it shows more depth.

I agree Algi, the colour version shows more "texture", rust and dust I think

Regardless of the colour/monochrome debate, the crop is much better in my opinion.
Best wishes,

Hi Stan

Agree with Andrew - much prefer the crop - in colour

It's a great image Stan that can be reworked and processed without turning out a bad version. That says a lot.

Best regards

Thanks for all the constructive comments. This image is one of the middle images in a set taken for HDR (which I haven't processed yet). The light was quite strong coming through the window but inside was relatively dark. Engine shed, Tanfield .

I prefer the colour version but was such a drastic crop needed? The 'blob' only needed reducing in size a bit rather than total removal? Even so, it holds your attention however you deal with it.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Cracking subject - colour crop is my preferred version
