  An unusal find. I love the shadows and colors. Not really sure what it is. Maybe a type of wind chime? I love how you capture things and it creates a vision you have to think about. Nice work Paddy!

  Patrick- You sure do come up with them. Not sure what the purpose of this was but someone made use of old cans and bottle tops. It may be ugly but the photo work you did to take a picture of it isn't. Love the rustic colors, excellent lighting and clarity, and that trademark texture. Gorgeous work of an ugly stick.
Have a great day my friend. Take care.

  It's not the stick that's ugly ... it's the rest of it! LOL!!! Fantastic capture though of whatever this is, Paddy! Are those caps from all the beers you drank? Ha! Ha! :D

Great colour, texture and detail! Wonderful lighting and shadow! A very unique and interesting capture, my friend! :)

  Paddy...It's obvious that no one here knows what an UGLY STICK really is used for...

Want me to add a youtube here of one in action? You just say the word and I will.

LOVE IT MY FRIEND. WAY TOO COOL!

  Congratulations Patrick a well deserved Finalist - wonderful image and certainly has created a talking point and much interest - my thought is people do odd things with their time, is it a work of art ? (well it is now, yours) or just being tidy ?
