This is one of my top 3 images in this challenge and that's nothing to do with your being my hubby.
I really like the way the top plate thingy creates a sweeping and slightly curved line across the image. I like the way the upright thingies create strong verticals to balance that. I like the shallow DOF that throws out the background. I like the repetitive patterns of the cogs, I like the way the light is reflected by the metal but the way I can still see the texture of the surfaces. And I like the conversion to black and white. And the crop. |
