This is a macro photograph of a window frame in an abandoned and demi-derelict carbide mill near where I work. I literally had to climb up inside the window to take these pictures. Within a span of two feet or so there are an incredible variety of textures and patterns on display.
I really wish they would allow us to submit more than one entry to a particular challenge ... I found it incredibly difficult to select a single picture for this category. I honestly don't know how this particular shot will do---it lacks the "eye candy" or "cliched" aspect that characterize so many of the higher scoring pictures on this site.
I ultimately picked my favourite of the bunch; when I asked my friends and co-workers to rank my candidate images, this one either finished on the top or the bottom of their rankings. Therefore, I don't have high hopes in terms of a final score in this challenge; however, I hope to get at least a few useful comments to improve my photography ... I quite like taking images in this style. |
