This is the last of the shots I took with Theis Dahl the other weekend and, in case you're wondering, this rung was about 10" long and formed part of the internal structure of the boat I put up in this shot.
In this instance the processing was extremely straightforward; i.e. a 16x9 crop, a Curve to increase contrast, and another masked Curve to add a vignette.
Oh, and this one definitely looks better with the black theme!
And finally, if you didn't read my entry on my previous image, our latest tutorial – Working with textures: part two – has now been published. There's some further info here:
Buenas tardes David, unas texturas impresionantes las que ha conseguido en esta escalera oxidada, junto a la cadena y la cuerda.
Buen trabajo, como siempre.
Saludos.

Love the texture of the rust and the dark orange-reds!

That's my kinda processing: extremely straight forward !!! But I'll tell ya it worries me when I add a curve layer, a vignette, and then I can't figure out what else I "should" do. Hmmm..."looks good to me" is what I usually come up with. :)

Great shot - love the focus, the texture and the orange colour. :)
But there are two things that distract me a bit:
1. The "huge" shadow on the chain in the foreground where I can't see it's source.
2. Although exif data says otherwise - compared to the background the rung and the chain look like you used a flash - is that the sunlight?

Thanks for posting the original. Always amazed at the vision you bring to the most benign image. What I see as "throwaway" you infuse with creativity and the result is always captivating.

The mood, the real colors, the definition, the texture, the composition...all in this is wonderful.
the question is you walked up or down. nice lightsetting!
