 Managed to borrow 13 horseshoes from a Farrier, then I had to cut off the nails (these are used horseshoes) clean them off and arranged them on my dining room table (with a black background). Tried to capture two superstitions here, 13 being unlucky and the upside down horseshoe providing the other..

At first glance, this picture seemed rather boring. The more I looked at it, the more I appreciated it. It's really very well done. 8.

I knew you turned the horseshoe up so as to not poor out your good luck, but I never heard of turning the 13 upside down. I am glad to see you using real horseshoes. Could have used a little more lit. But pretty good shot.

Great shot! I would prefer it if the horseshoes were leading out of the right of the picture, not sure why just a feeling!

A picture of 13 objects...Wouldn't it be creepy if thirteen people all had the same idea this week? Were getting there, 'cause your number 5 so far.
