Very interesting shot! One wonders how long it is able to withstand sustained force - string is not strong (I feel a song coming on) Oh, now I see, the gate is open, but how much longer will it remain semi-attached to the post which is showing sever signs of wear. I've never seen a gate post with a waist before ;-) It remains a wonderful capture, though :-)

Ooooh. You took that photo? It's superb! So many interesting textures...
ReplyDeleteSuldog,
ReplyDeleteI did! I know, it's almost unbelievable hehe ;-) Lucky shot.
Great composition full of delectable texture to excite the senses.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Just the sort of shot I like.
ReplyDeleteWhich camera did you use for this?
I see the gate, and I presume part of Groningen is in the background, but where is Farmer Dirk?
ReplyDeleteMartin H.,
ReplyDeleteI have a Canon EOS 40D.
The lens: Canon 17-85mm.
Settings: 1/320s, 5.0f, ISO: 100.

RWP,
Ah, yes, where is farmer Dirk? Good question.
It's his gate. That's why he is in the title. Palmam qui meruit ferat.
RWP,
ReplyDeleteI've changed the title. Thanks for bringing the missing farmer to my attention ;-)

Fantastic work, Caolina!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a marvellous photo! I love the angle, too - and the selective focus is perfect. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI think the black and white suits it too, by the way!
