Description
I thought I'd end the week with something colorful. This is a photo of the metal face of an outdoor junction box. It probably houses phone wires or cables. It is located next to a sprinkler and over time, the well water used by the sprinkler system has given it this rusty, oil slick shimmery patina. The larger central image is pretty much the way it looks, with some levels and saturation adjustment. I know it looks like some sort of "Eye Candy" filter, but none were used. The variations on either side were achieved simply by adjusting the Hue in Photoshop one way or the other. I could have removed the scratches and other marks, but felt they added a little character so I left them in. You can view the central image at 60% of original size on my website by clicking HERE. Have a great weekend! ----- Thanks for stopping by and for your wonderful comments on yesterday's image, Sky Giants I.

nice study...
Wonderful and quite colourful abstract - reminds me of colour sound waves captured on an oscilloscope. Well done!
A clever capture of a phenom. I've seen, but not as pronounced as this. The scratches do lend character. Very nice work.
Pretty neat study my friend. I love the result. Excelent done my friend :O)
Reminds me of the depth recorder for fishing. Excellent job. Aloha
Ooooooh Kortalouche, this rocks!!! Awesome colors and I'm glad u left the scratches indeed!!! Very well seen and beautifully presented!! Great creative shots darling!
I'm glad you explained the what, the how and the wherefore. I would never have guessed (lol). Alternatively, you could have done a 'never complain, never explain' and left us all guessing ;-)))
For rust lovers like zanhfee, addick and myself this is sure to please our senses and feed our addiction. It almost looks like Northern Lights. Wonderful capture and presentation. Have yourself a great weekend.
