Description

"There is no true expertise in the humanities without knowing all of the humanities. Art is a vast, ancient interconnected web-work, a fabricated tradition. Over-concentration on any one point is a distortion." --Camille Paglia

I asked if anyone wanted to see a detail of the peeling paint and rusty metal of yesterday's image and I got a few positive responses, so I posted 2 details in the Forum HERE. Today we have a different view of the object from the recent "Rust Bumps" images. Mark (hotracer2) correctly guessed that object was from my older gallery image Steamer. A thousand points to you Mark! ;] Now that you know what what it is, I hope you can still appreciate the images in an abstract way. ----- Thank you for your peeling comments on my upload yesterday, Number 900.

As you know Kort, I am a lover of textures and this one has me very interested. However, i feel it would have benifited from a low flash fill setting to bring out more of the detail and rich textures. Never the less, I like the new direction you are taking. Thank you for sharing.

Grapho and Glypho were plowing a rice patty together in Japan. Grapho wanted to know the dual for war. Glypho laughed and said"You Crassicar Schorals all arike!" Ah a bit rustyWas ist IE for electric eel? Or is that putting the cart before the horse, hehe.

I am going to out on a limb - exceptionally, I do not think I agree with Egmont (although I see what he means) - I like the contrast created by the shadow

thanks Charles. I agree with your assesment that it needed that extra contrast to work. I played with the midrange settings a bit and making them lighter caused it to lose some visual impact. *

I love the composition, and the focus on the shapes/forms. Wish it weren't in the shadow (Don't you have a control Sun dial?) The quote is one of the most fascinating I have read in a while! Keep'm coming Kort!!

Without flash though able by computer technology to show at least some more details, you did well, Kort! Gorgeous work, (greyish) black with joyful rust-colors! :)
