Thank you, darin. The guys that own the genre (in my mind) are rmann & DWThomas. Both do wonderful stuff & inspire me to try.

Love the star on the wheel - and thanks for the compliment, I have to say that I really like your last few images where you have approached the subject at an angle rather than straight on. It makes a dramatic image of a stationary object, I think I may be "borrowing" this approach from you the next time I am around some "stationary iron". Keep them coming, I never can get enough of old cast iron - Bob

Yes! I like both of your recent images, but this one has a "mood" about it! Love the star and the dark tones.

Bob & JP, Thank you both. I always appreciate hearing from you two & DWT on old iron. Your eyes see qualities in it I'm so fond of. 'Wasn't sure if the low key would have any appeal other than to my eyes.

Bob - that I've do anything worth borrowing rather makes my day. Borrow, steal, tweak, modify, perfect. I'll learn from what you do.

Sincere thanks, Gents.
