Critique Welcomed Rusty Metal

[David Jones]

Leave wrought iron in a salty atmosphere, and salt water in the first case, for around 100 years and this is what you end up with. (Sony Alpha 57 with kit lens)

Salt + Water + Iron => Rust

Love the first, David. Really beautiful.

Very nice David. Like Rob, I especially like the first - the limited tones really works well I think.

 

[David Jones]

Thank you for the feedback. I did lift the saturation a touch for the first image. The second is rendered as I remember it, with only the green channel toned down a bit to take some emphasis off the background. I have no real way of dating these items but 80 to 100 years old is not unrealistic.

love the first image, wonderful colors and i love how the seaweed is hanging on to the ring.

Rock, rust, metal, hard edged yet gentle in this image with seaweed kinda like a roman leaf crown.
