obviously there is not a need for too much leverage to enter the mission Great capture
Ah now this is a superb shot my friend, I love the shape of the knocker, and the textures are wonderful.
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
wonderful
A great shot of this wonderful old door 'knob,' Tara! You are the wizardess of details...
Good capture. Sadly, the wood is starting to show serious deterioration. Someone needs to do somw restorative work before it is too late.
Great capture and POV!!!
Just look at that groove where the handle has worn the wood! A most satisfying composition, and I want to actually feel the surfaces.
Fantastic photo !
That's a neat old doorknob. Cool find.
Lovely old door and handle but it doesn't look too well used.
wonderful shot
A really lovely view of this door handle! Definitely not something ordinary, but rather antique looking. I can only imagine what it leads to within! Wonderful capture my friend!
Wonderful shot.
Lots of character in that old hand-forged latch!
Brilliant composition! Wow, what an amazingly cool bit of hardware you found...love the whole intimate feel of this shot!
Love the textures and this crux.
though a small section, it has a sweep to it which I can't quite describe. And the sweep all leads to that doorknob, which has wonderful hand-hewn work on it, with all the imperfections that make such work rare and beautiful. And you caught all the angles, beveled surfaces, etc, very clearly. Plus you caught the imperfections (decays) of the wood too. A very moody piece---is that too strong a word, because it's really very clear and straight foward: But "moody" because it's aged, and seems receding into time, and maybe I meant to say "nostalgic". Very sensitively caught, and fine seeing too, to stop and capture this old beauty. And speaking of putting the main subject to one side---that's what you did here; and you posted this the day before your comment in my gallery. So, you've been doing it yourself all along!
Your fine eye for detail is evident here - this is a wonderful handcrafted piece of hardware & seriously weathered wood. I don't think I've seen this model in the doorknob aisle at Home Depot...
Such a beautiful detail you show us here, Tara! A great mood, lovely light and textures, plus such an ancient colors makes this a very special photo, my friend. I love the cross, which is on the upper part of the doorknob, it's so fitting that church.
