Hello Ray, I love your title for this piece. I like the weathered and worn feel to this iron gate top. It seems I can reach in there an grab hold of the frist wrung and pull the gate open myself. Very well done - as is!
I am attracted to this type of perspective of 'forgotten things'. Good composition, excellent detail on the peeling paint. I think what I like best about it is the overall color tone. Unless I'm mistaken, my guess is that this is how the iron work actually looks. Of course, if not and you did adjust the toning that's fine.
I think part of the appeal is in the limited depth of field, which gives the shot its depth.
Nice find and well presented...
Take care,
Anthony
ps-your kind words on my pictures (weeks ago now-lol) were very much appreciated-thank you.
