Rusted Gear

Comment by Bud:
This was a fun shot for me. I found an old axle on a farm and took a variety of shot and angles. This was my favorite. And to me, Gear is almost synonomous with mechanical. So, I messed with the post processing more than usual. Thank you, you four kind people who commented on this photo! One other note, very proud to recieve no "1"s.

Very very nice. I like the natural light and the texture on her face. You were also able to keep both the highlights and the shadows in check in this high contrast shot. I would have given it a little higher if the ear and red ball cap were not in the photo. Nice shot though, 7.

Immaculate in every respect. Clone away the tiny, bright dot center right? The red hat and it's associated ear are simply wonderful.

nice detail! Good emotion, just a bit centered imo? The red had really stands out too. Just little details, but nice shot nonetheless! 7
