"Weathered Metal 1"

"Weathered Metal 1"

This photo was taken as an exercise in use of texture, color and composition to transform an everyday object into something visually interesting and different.

This is part of the handle on an old barn door.  The handle probably dates to the early 1900's and the door was obviously in need of painting. 

However both the weathering of the metal and paint over time made for an interesting composition.

Photo shot using Nikon D90 camera and 55/2.8 Macro Nikkor lens.
