Rust on Black

Uploaded: July 19, 2010

Description

A piece of rust I found along the road.Of course, I had to keep it stashed away-someone keeps throwing away all my treasures,lol.
Edited-Picasa.
PS- ( writing this PS the day following the entry) what I meant by "The Original" is that this is what the whole piece looked like before captureing close ups of it- "not" the original from the photo entered. No special effects here. Sorry about the confusion.

LOL at your comment Patrick, how dare anyone throw a treaure like this out.
I bought some vegetables and fruit one time for a harvest capture, and while I am eating this good stuff at dinner I asked my wife when she went to the market. She said she didn,t that there was a whole bag of good things out in the garage and she cooked them for dinner! We had a good laugh over that one.
You turned this piece of rust to a piece of treaure, very well done! #8774302

Beautiful rust art, Patrick! I see a couple of french poodles here! #8776049

Lorna Shutter July 20, 2010

So what you're saying is ... One man's rust is another man's treasure?! :)
I see a Poodle on the left kissing a Coyote on the right and the dinosaur that Kathy S. sees is the Poodle's tail to me! It's like one of those Ink Blot Tests! It's funny, but when I click "Respond" to this image, I can see a different Original image ... one that looks like poop on a bench! LOL! Amazing how you can turn THAT into a wonderful work of art, Patrick! Excellent job, my friend! :) #8776567
