Challenge:Rusted (Basic Editing I) Camera:Nikon D70 Location: Field of abandoned cars, Hertfordshirt, UK Date: May 2, 2004 Aperture: f5.6 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/125 Galleries:Abstract, Macro Date Uploaded: May 2, 2004
A macro study of a segment of a graffiti tag on the side of a rusted car. I was particularly taken by the slight curve of the door edge, the colours and patterns in the rust and the dynamic scrawl of the graffiti.
Cropped, adjusted levels, applied a very small amount of sharpening.

Interesting picture, but just seems a little soft when you examine the rust detail. I think the composition would've been more powerful with the white dot in the frame. Other than that, I really like it.
