No, it's not another political scandal, just an ornate wrought iron gate!

Remember when a gate was just a gate?! Super intricate shadows and nice texture Bill. I really like this in B&W!

  Thank you all so much.
Winner?
I accept that as high praise from you, Carolyn and Kathleen.
I should have added that this was photographed with an infrared filter.
I tried it in color and desaturated it, but I didn't care for it as much.
regards,

bill

  I've always loved wrought iron shots and wrought iron shadow shots, and this one is fabulous, Bill! Don't think it would have been as stunning if it was in color. A winning image, congrats!
