Challenge:Rusted (Basic Editing I) Camera:Sony DSC-F717 Location: Blackstone River Central Falls RI Date: May 2, 2004 Aperture: f/3.5 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/125 Galleries:Landscape, Nature Date Uploaded: May 2, 2004
Very lovely scene. The branch in ther foreground and the bridge in the back along with the spring leaves on the trees and their reflection in the still water all work for me. The rusted gears present a view of past human intervention placing in time the construction of dam and bridge. The building itself is timeless although my mind imagines modern cars parked behind. I like staying studying this picture, but must move on only after remarking tht it is a little dimly lit given the darkness of the rust. A little fill flash might have helped.

This shot looks like a familiar scene. It closely resembles an area along the South Fork River. Would have been a better picture if only it were larger. I think the small size will end up huritng you here.
