 This is a rusty rope holding an old WW2 frigate to its moorings at Williamstown in Melbourne.

I took many shots at the pier but this one stood out.

I used a 105mm macro and I lay flat on my stomach (for my art !) and handheld to get this shot. I love the rusty detail and I hope the voters will as well. The rope was about 2 inches thick.

Levels, Saturation, USM, resize, border, Noise Ninja...not much more than that

Really like the DOF. Wonderful textures that you've done a great job of capturing here without, thank god, getting USM happy. Great composition, I love the balance of the shot. Overall just a really nice photo.
