Big cable pulley from one of the sailing vessels in the old harbour of Hoorn. This is not a Macro, the pulley is just big and I zoomed in to a 35mm eqv of 210mm. The idea of zooming in was to get a shallow dof and to create this perspective where the mast and other cables are pulled closer.
I stabilized the camera against one of the lower pulleys.
In my opinion the dof is just a bit too shallow and it is front focussed. You just don't notice with these freaking small useless electronic viewfinders. :( I still like it because of all the lines.
I worked on it a couple of days ago with dpc non-membership in mind, so everything was legal. I believe to have rotated it, curves, channel mixing, resampled, usm, save for the web.
Experimented with B&W and Quadtoning, but that didn't look well.

interesting depth of field, but the subject matter doesn't really grab my attention and the light is kinda flat. Sorry to sound overly critical ;) Still a decent shot.
I like the pulley concept for the strenght theme, perhaps this should should have been done from another angle, I would like to have seen more of the pulley it self.
