Well, thanks, Tamera! I beg to differ, but I appreciate the compliment! I was fortunate to find it already set against that yellow background.

Fantastic shot, Chris!!! I love rusty subjects and really wish I lived near a derelict train yard! Great capture!

8/1/2006 11:46:53 AM

Much appreciated, Sharon! I wouldn't say I live close to it... was about a 110 mile drive! The latest 3 images in my gallery are all from that trip to Strasburg, visiting the Strasburg Railroad, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum directly across the street. Very handy place for train lovers!

Fantastic detail and color Christopher. Maybe I should rethink what I photograph!!

8/5/2006 6:17:29 AM

;) Thanks, Jane... I've seen quite a few really cool rusty images here; thought I'd keep an eye out for an opportunity. (No pun intended!)

8/5/2006 8:09:02 AM

I bet this does well in the monthly.

9/26/2006 12:46:33 PM

Definitely one of my fav's from my trip to Lancaster PA... And I like your track record of guessing Finalists/Winners ;)

9/26/2006 1:38:43 PM

Love the colors and structures, great focus! Big congrats Christopher!

9/28/2006 3:49:32 AM

Thanks so much, folks! I was pleasantly surprised to get a shallower-than-expected DOF on this... something my camera doesn't often excel at!

9/28/2006 4:35:24 AM

Congratulations Christopher for this and all your wonderful finalists! Mary :-D

9/28/2006 9:30:54 AM

Thanks, Kristi---this is my favorite of the three!

9/30/2006 5:23:26 AM

Wow!! You are kicking them out as usual!!:) Congratulations on this amazing macro!!

10/26/2006 4:29:22 PM

Thanks, Revonda; it is one of my favorite macro images I've taken.

10/26/2006 4:30:35 PM

CONGRATULATIONS once again, Chris, and best of luck to you with all of your Finalists in the next stage!!
Much Aloha,
Stan

10/27/2006 1:35:23 AM

Thanks, Stan! (Unfortunately, there is no "next stage" for this one---this was acutally an August Finalist. I think perhaps you and Revonda either hit the wrong link to view Sept. Finalists, or, maybe visited my gallery, and thought this was a Sept, in my first row of Finalists?)

10/27/2006 6:30:36 AM

this is one fabulous macro!

10/29/2006 1:00:08 PM

Thank you Laura; I think it is one of my best so far.

10/30/2006 3:46:16 AM

Love this beautiful depiction of "rust" - something not usually considered to be "pretty." It is the truly gifted photographer who can transform something mundane or even unsightly into something remarkably beautiful. You are that someone! Lynn

4/19/2007 2:01:40 PM

Lynn, thank you very much for your generous words! The derelict trains had so much fascinating detail, when you got up close... the colors of rust, worn paint, bare metal... just scream out for macro images!
