Quite an array of sizes and shapes of the cracks and peelings, from just beginning to fully formed rolling-off flakes; I can almost feel that texture! The shadows are like icing on the cake, enhancing the whole thing. Well done, Harry!

I have always seen this kind of photography as a magnificent source of light textures ... this gives more depth to the paint peeled!!!

I only have time for a few this morning, as I'm trying hard to catch up with many artists I've not visited much in the last week; but I'll be back for more very soon. But picking up where I left off (from earlier to current), I come to this piece which I've wanted to comment on since it went up. Yes it's always a joy when you return to peeling paint. This looks like paint over metal, because of the decay on the inner layer (hard to imagine that could happen on wood). Your early light is sterling and bright; the shadows are typically strong and deep; the curls are very vividly captured; and the decay in the metal below is both spare and speckled. The bottom shot is a huge finale, because you have a kind of fanned-out composition, to open up the usual verticals in walls like this. And the hue is more amber, warmer; there's more non-cracked paint; and the cracks are larger and reveal whole colonies underneath, caused by not just rust but by paint sprayed over the openings---and not applied too well, I might add! They didn't bother to do it too thoroughly here! The spray job left these little colonies of rust and paint. And a big swath of these colonies is in shadow. People who don't find this beautiful are missing something. And people who don't zoom are missing something too: This is glorious zoomed. A progression from top to bottom, and filled with terrific textures and revelations. And that light is as fine as ever. If people saw this from a plane---if it were a landscape---they'd oohh and ahhh: It's a shame people can't shake off the "this is paint on a wall" business, and see it for it's pure visual power, because it's as beautiful as a landscape---in fact, it is a landscape, just a different kind. A terrific pair of shots.
