Is this rust I see before me, or just a shadow of my imagination? Not much to say about this one, it's a large metal planter in the coach park at the Floriade Flower Show in Venlo, Netherlands. (Roest, by the way, is Dutch Rust!!)

Hand held, 1/160s, f7.1, Iso200, 53mm.

Many thanks for all your comments at my previous attempts at flora photography.

It's an interesting capture Dave, love the contrast the shadow and lovely spot of yellow provide. Nicely done.

I love the inclusion of the flower, it's so quirky! But there's a different, more enigmatic picture lurking in this if you crop off the top.

I really like this Dave. The placement of the flower works almost like a spotlight drawing our attention to the intriguing shadow shapes and the texture of the rusty metal.

Great use of the flower, it just gives that small splash of colour and also gives the viewer a hint as to what is making the shadows.

I thought it was shadows of people from the thumbnail and it needs the sunflower to give some context. It's well observed.
