I love rust and crust especially in Susan Judd’s version 🙂 This one has good composition, great contrasts and most of all that element of curiosity that makes the picture more interesting – what’s behind the hole? Thank you, Sue 🙂
Thanks, Paula!

I like the fact that there is no scale. It could be a huge keyhole, for a giant, ancient key, or just a close up of a conventional lock. As Paula says, an ‘element of curiosity’. There’s a story behind this photo, even if it’s only in our imaginations. That’s why it works so well.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete! I try for the mysterious sometimes!
I spy… lichens?
Hehe…. nope, just a load of old rust! 😊
[sigh…] just goes to show how deceptive things can be when converted to monochrome
I know you love your lichen! Haven’t seen any around here….
Apparently they only grow in unpolluted areas so I guess the air is pretty polluted where you live 😦
Very likely 😦
It looks so mysterious in black and white. I agree with Paula. The dark keyhole draws the eye and leads to the mind to wonder what lies beyond.
Thanks, Suzanne…. I’m pleased I have succeeded in creating mystery! ☺️
Love the thoughtful insight that comes through your image, a lot to think about.
Thanks, Charlie ☺️
I love this kind of photography, very artistic.
Congratulations !!
Many thanks, Cosme – I am trying to broaden my approach to photography
oh I love it!! I want to put my eye up to it!!
Hehe….how large do you think this lock is, and what kind of building/object is it attached to?
all of that – it’s a great story!!!
😳
Great photo Sue! 😀 I agree with previous comments about not knowing the size of the lock…could indeed be a giants door! 😀 Very nice detail and b&w fits it perfectly!
Thanks! Glad you liked, and were caught up in the mystery!
Stunning! You are a master at capturing textures 🙂
Thanks! I do try! 😀
