'' THE OLD BOLT '', a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

I am normally drawn to the old doors - in this case the old bolt - This photo was taken on a recent trip to Spain - whilst in Barcelona my husband & I visited a lovely part of the City called El Pueblo a tourist attraction where all the buildings/houses have been duplicated from various regions in Spain.
Please enjoy.

hello Dawn,

How beautiful detail! I suppose it is so rusty it doesn't open any more. Artistic shot, excellent colours and light.
Warm regrads

Hi Dawn
The Passing of Time and that's another of your treasure, a specialist subject bursting with texture and detail of crusty gritty rust that make me want to scrape the monitor screen! Great point of view and full of natural charm, nice grotty colours and awareness of your surroundings. Fantastic shot, you've captured the hidden beauty really, really well!
Best regards

Hello Dawn,
Great close-up on this rusty old bolt. I like very much the mood engendered by the low light, which ideally complements the subject. Superb rendering of tones and textures.

Bonjour Dawn,

C'est le genre de photos que ma femme aime beaucoup r饌liser. Un beau jeu d'ombres et de lumi鑽e et une nettet� qui fait ressortir la texture du m騁al.

Bon samedi

Graet close proximity with the rusty lock, Dawn.
Well collected it's smallest shining spotes, and brown tone iron frame.
It appears as even a pice of rusty metal has some artistic virtue, in photography.
Have a nice week ahead,
Ike

Hi, dear Dawn,
Your 100th photo published in the site. Congratulations!
And you celebrate it with this gorgeous close-up on this old bolt of a door of the "Poble Espal" (Spanish Village), in Barcelona.
The image has a great sharpness, and we can see all the details of the iron of the bolt, its textures and its colour, shining under a good light.
Simply, a wonderful composition, perfectly seen and executed.
We also remember our lovely meeting in Barcelona with you and Gus.
Our warmest regards for both of you, from Barcelona,
Pili and Josep
