With this pic I tried to capture texture of rusted implement as well as the light & its effect! Comments & critique welcome!

Hi Jocelyn,

I think you have a nice image here.

However, Personally, I feel the image is too tightly cropped, and seeing more of the ferns, especially on the left would have improved the image, as I reckon the light on the plants are just as nice as the light on the rust.

I hope you dont mind me putting the image up.....thumbnails are a pet hate!

Re: Garden Gnome

The only thing I have against this is it being smack in the middle and the top being to tight.
Like coupekid says...to tightly cropped

Re: Garden Gnome

Hi, an interesting, image, that is spoilt by the crop, however the item does not move, is it probably still there? why not take a few more. Well spotted, these still lifes in this style are well worth the effort, I was told that they are refered to as "Found" still lifes, as opposed to constructed still lifes.
By the way it looks like a very old Bottle jack, is it?

Re: Garden Gnome

Yes, it's an old bottle Jack found in my friend's garden in Queensland, a good few hundred kilometres away! He rebuilds & collects veteran cars & has a number of 'garden gnomes' about! Home isn't home without a garden gnome! This one was 'found' near the garage! Here's a different angle, hopefully with a better crop!
