 I have found that my BW shots have not been dark enough lately, so I am trying to go especially dark here. This old watering must be 40 years old, having been used in my dads garden since before I was alive. Now it has been replaced by a plastic one, and lives in a forgotten corner.

Love this subject and the perspective you used. But it seems to have all tones in the low range making it a low key instead of a high contrast photo.
