Theme for this week for Photo Art is Hardware. Lots of ideas for that - my final choice was this old hardware on a barn. I like the make-do of using a piece of what looks like bicycle chain for part of the hinge. This piece of Hardware has had some Hard Wear.
While this photo already looked old, I used the "pinch" function to give it that wavy effect. I think it aged the photo even more.
Original image - love the chain for a hinge.

ReplyDeleteCaptivating and original - both hinge and edit! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the lines and texture in the photo and your "pinch" is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteYou have a really good eye to find this terrific piece for hardware. Nice processing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool "find." And a Pinch Wave...new to me but perfect for your image.

A mmost beautiful piece of hardware. I like the chain along wit the rusty hinge. The "pinch" did give it an even more rustic look. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThat chain really is a fascinating hinge... Whoever thought of that was quite innovative. Nice processing with that pinch effect!
ReplyDeleteyou inspired me -- I'll go ahead and try this..Thanks

The wavy look does age the image. I agree about the creativity of using bike chain as a supporting hinge. Great work here. Thanks for sharing with PAF!
ReplyDeleteI like this photo, it tells a little story! About how industrious and inventive someone was to use a bicycle chain for a hinge! Never saw that before! I like your 'pinch' effect. It really gives it that rustic quality.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link about the reticular clouds! They are amazing! I have photographed them many times and they never cease to amaze me!
