superbe ce gros blanc en b&w, et j'aime bien le grain sur cette photo

Thank you guys!

To be honest, I'm not sure about the focusing point choice. I have two more versions of this shot, one focusing on the out-most part of the ring, and the second focused on the smaller ring in the back. I was wondering if this version is alright for you, or do you think another one would work better :)

I think focussing the smaller ring might get a new perspective and make it even more interesting - looking through the first ring getting the second sharp. Are those colours original? For me, it's a bit too red.

Yes, I did push the colors up a bit :)
Here's a link to the version with the smaller ring in focus, if anyone is bored enough to take a look :)

Wow, to be honest with you I don't really care for the rust topic, but you have done a very beautiful job with it. Kudos to you..

The only critique in my opinion is there could be a little more negative space. other than that its perfect to the T. Amazing detail and colors.

Lovely perspective and feel

Wow - that is a wonderful photo - I'd love to see that one printed really big

Wow

terrific image with the detail in the palm, 'talk to the hand', and the dof

i love the contrast... with those black trees, it has an Ansel Adams feel :)
