Welll, thanks so far. The contrast and color are already pushed as far as I dare without making the image look from outer space. As for beauty, isn't this an interesting topic? I spent two days working on this bridge here in town because I felt that the colors and streaks were so beautiful. They inspired me. Other people I guess just see rust. I remember as I was photographing some people would stop, look around and ask "what are you takig pictures of?" When I would point out the patterns many people would exclaim "Oooooo" and be thrilled, others thought I was nuts. Interesting what we respond to eh? We can see that all over this week's topic. Thanks for the comments so far.
