1. Very interesting effect. nt

2. Phenomenal. I have looked at it several times.

You want to just hush and hear this lock talk.

3. I wish I had moved about 30* to the right.

The perspective as shot makes the photo look flat to me. Glad you like it.

4. To me that is what gives it the "come hither if you

have the key and if you dare" quality.
It takes it from a beautiful photograph to one that has a secondary message. I also very much like the crop with the top horizontal bar left in as additional suggestive ominous information.

5. No, you got it right

The eye is drawn to the box immediately, then the keyhole and frame take over.
Your mind then plays games with you, wondering ... what's beyond the darkness behind the bars.
Had the bars and darkness not been there, you would have lost that effect.
It's a good shot.

6. Thanks! It's an old one.

Taken on my second trip through The South 3 years ago. I've been running some older stuff through Nik Silver Efex, and experimenting with selective color.

Just started a pretty large remodel in the house. I'm doing all the work so I haven't had much time to get out and snap pictures.

8. Wonderful texture and colors and composition!

It *almost* looks like a painting.

Well done!
