This is a relic I found at an old mine site. I propped it on the fence on a day with a spectacular blue sky and fired away.
Cropped, levels adjusted and sharpened.

Your portfolio is full of marvelous photos. I liked your bio and it sounds like you are well on your way to becoming the photographer you really aspire to be. Keep up the good work.
Simple shot, simple idea, I was very happy withthe results. I honestly spent about 15 minutes on this shot and took less then 20 shots. This one was my favorite of the bunch.
Such direct light perhaps mutes the feel of this - making the shape of the whole thing rather more imprtant to the image than the feel of it. Slightly odd angle to choose, relegating that cut end of shaft so far out of frame. Good colour, but not in the end a convincing entry for me.
What really makes this shot is the talent of the photographer. Not a subject I think would be interesting to shoot - but I like this. Wonderful, clear focus and composition. I like the shadow and the blue sky just sets it all off. Well done.
