Queen of the Junk Yard Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another farm in the Portland suburbs. It had a big yard full of charming old objects.
Not sure what this metal object was used for.

I attached the color version as a WS. Would be interesting to know which one you like better.

Hi Efi
Nice composition, good use of the DOF and good election for black and white.

Well selected title. To me it looks like some kind of bell. Whatever it is, I think you did a great job with the selective DOF and the wheels in the background.
I think the image could need a bit more contrast, might be a personal thing though ;-) See workshop for a suggestion.

That object is a screw jack Efi. I have an old one very similar to it in my colleciton of junk. I like the rustic feeling of this shot with the old wheels in the background.. ver nice effect.
