Nikon D800E / 85PC-E
ISO 100 1/15 f/11

One of my favourite shots from a recent family holiday in Scotland.  1024px doesn't do this justice.  Here is a much larger high-rez file.

Many thanks for taking a look.

I actually prefer it with the bottom rust band cropped off...there's plenty going on without it.
Well seen, Thank You

Thanks for that: a matter of taste, I guess.  I prefer it in for the comp, and also the textures and detail in the rust.  I also reckon a square crop might also work, though I've printed this at A2 this morning and thinkit looks fab.  I also have another very similar frame from two feet further to the right.

Great abstract -- the color and texture really make it a stand out. I can see why it's a fave! I'm looking forward to seeing the shot of the adjacent area.

Good eye, spotting this very graphic detail.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.
