Re: Junk in the Trunk
I like it overall, lots of things to see. The only thing that maybe I could do without is the two long metal rods in the middle.
Could use a Colt Model 1908 in the frame.

Re: Junk in the Trunk
It works, if you want the eye to wander then this random scattering should do the trick.

LOL! Agree, the '08 would fit in nicely!

Re: Junk in the Trunk
I actually like the rods. They guide my eye through the shot.

Re: Junk in the Trunk

Exactly! A "treasure" found in the attic, barn, wherever. Originally Posted by IzzieK

Re: Junk in the Trunk
That's a very good still life. The only thing I wondered about was whether a strong diagonal, running top left to bottom right, in the top left quadrant of the image (i.e. a short rod or something like that), would have provided a nice balance to the other strong lines (rods, etc.) in the image?

Re: Junk in the Trunk
Overall and interesting image. This would have been a great shot for a studio with a softbox above, evenly lighting the whole box. The things that I don't particularly like are the darker left top corner and the shiny object at the top right, but frankly those are relatively minor quibbles.
Nice shot!

Re: Junk in the Trunk
I like it Doug, lots to look at, very interesting image.
Reminds me of one of those hidden object games.

Yes, still live. I collect old cartridges among other odds and ends. Originally Posted by IzzieK
