Funny thing, was just reading the threads on commenting, and "favorite tangura comment", I started going through my portfolo, and had never noticed all this commentary on this image until now! I have no recollection on what might have produced it, did I post this somewhere?

The yard where I found this assembly of rusted odds and ends fascinates me, and I have taken hundreds of images at all hours over the barbed wire fence, without security approaching me once! Unfortunately, when the "Shapes" challenge came up i a timely manner, I did not choose to retake this view, because of the lack of direct sunlight and I thought that the background would be criticized as distracting. Instead I entered the below, which did not do well. :(
Live and learn. Thanks for all the comments.

Thank you all for the comments, once again items were brought to my attention which I wouldn't Have considered otherwise.

Sadly, due to a perfect storm of interruptions I had very little time to post process, but the wallpaper was just removed last week and the room was newly painted, and I didn't even notice the imperfections. My downfall was the use of the brightest light I own, which happened to be a halogen shop light, thus the yellow cast that I did not correct for. I am an admitted amature, and need to invest in some proper lighting equipment, but I am here to learn, and continue to do just that.

This was an experiment I used to do with my kids while studying density, for those interested the layers consist of honey, colored karo corn syrup, Dawn dishwashing detergent, colored water, and olive oil. I was going to add colored alcohol and lamp oil, and even try to light it, but ran out of time!

Thanks again for the support and constructive criticism, it helps me grow.
