Like the way the three are all a little bit different in texture and colour.
Well done Eric.

Had to be yours, Eric. Not sure why "exclusive" believes it lacks impact and interest. My view is that this abstract interpretation of something so mundane as boiler pipes offers great impact and interest.

Nice patterns, Eric.
Wonder how tick they are. Hard to guess, Think, 3 to 4 inches?

Thanks Jan. Hard to remember now, but I think you are about right about the size. This is actually a big crop from a much bigger image, because I couldn't get too close to them, they where part of a massive, tottering pile of metal that I didn't trust too much!

Excellent detail in this image with such beautiful colors that it doesn't look like scrap. Well spotted.

An interesting image Eric, and extra brownie points for making it from such 'unpromising' subject matter.

Old wood, pipes, latches, scrap metal. Somehow you make it all look so good. You should sign up with a recycler to make them look good too!
