Alright friends, this weeks contest is now closed.

Stay tuned.

My critique and choices for the winner of the Weekly Photo Contest: Iron - 11-18 March 2018
@Alexander.Of.Oz - Lovely capture and depth of field. Old churches are indeed fascinating.
@deep diver - Rusty chains are good for the theme. Sometimes selective color works - as it does here.
@someoldguy - I remember your series of the old cars and building from a while ago. The sepia tones fit this comp perfectly.
@macuser453787 - Great example of iron railings. Not sure of the focal point though.
@Hughmac - I’ve never tired of seeing these derelict boats. Fantastic colors.
@kenoh - Clever play on words. We ran out of steam with the puns though
@themumu - Not clear on what this is. I see there is some heavy duty steel though….
@tcphoto1 - Brilliant old van.
@inkmich - I’m usually amazed at the skill and creativity that goes into metal sculpture. This is yet another terrific example. Well captured.
@Janichsan - Right to the point. Clever and well captured.
@Apple fanboy - Another brilliant piece of metalwork. Well captured.
@Robotti - Terrific shot. It does make me wonder if they’re mining the iron ore or something else.
@mollyc - That little bit of warmth in what looks like a cold place. Nicely done.
@pmxperience - Great perspective of the tower.
@E3BK - Wonderful old bridge. I like the tone and lighting.
@oblomow - I had to sort out what all was going on here. Reading the next few posts helped. Interesting shot nonetheless.
@mmomega - That’s a massive looking fountain. Lighting is nicely captured.
@jkramerbob - Another clever play on the word “iron”. I’m no golfer, but I wonder if modern clubs even use iron anymore. Great action shot.
@Susurs - Lovely composition. Wonder if that leaf was there naturally, or was placed. Nothing wrong either way. I like the tones.
@anotherscotsman - Wonderfully done sir. Great subject and lighting.
So, this was a challenge for me. It’s difficult to choose as there are so many wonderful entries. I’ve chosen two for a shared Third, and two for a shared Second. First of course is down to one.
Many thanks to all who participated !!!

I think that is me w/ a typo? If so, thanks so much! I haven't been able to participate a whole lot lately due to work so it feels good to be back in the mix. Congrats to all the podium placers and to @anotherscotsman for the win! Looking forward to your contest.
Thanks @stillcrazyman for the feedback, I forgot to switch out my image for the one I'm posting today in POTD, taken last Wednesday night, oh well... And good choice for a winner! I loved @anotherscotsman 's door handle image, and will be interested in what he comes up with for the next round.

The leaf was already there when my eye catched it.

Many thanks @stillcrazyman, I think...
Great topic with lots of great entries - particular favourites of mine were @Alexander.Of.Oz, @Hughmac and @tcphoto1 with certainly the wittiest entry going to @kenoh.
I'll have a think and get back as soon as I can.
Thanks for the feedback. IIRC, I wanted an atypical focal point with that shot, since the obvious focal point is usually the object in the foreground and I had already done a lot of those that day.
[doublepost=1521474711][/doublepost]Congrats to the winners, especially @anotherscotsman! Beautiful shot and rightfully the winner.
