A picture where you could try different crops. I like the colors. 30 Sep 2008 9:10am @akarui: I was flashed by that gate lol It appealed to me, oh I took quite a few and some very croppable, merci Olivier :) Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, FranceNice title. The white gate is so present than the rusted one is almost invisible 30 Sep 2008 9:12am @Calusarus: Hi Frederic, probably a requirement from some Insurance company that said they needed a new gate, and they didn't destroy the old one first lol saeed from ahwaz, Iranwow! really well seen and captured! I like the idea and title 30 Sep 2008 9:35am @saeed: Thanks a lot Saeed, I appreicate it ;) Betty from New Jersey, United StatesWhat a great find, and captured so well. Beautiful shot, Lorraine! 30 Sep 2008 9:59am @Betty: Thanks so much Betty :) Barbara from Florida, United StatesI like how you used the white fence to frame the image. It created an interesting effect. 30 Sep 2008 10:14am @Barbara: Thanks a lovely compliment, thanks Barbara :) Rui from Leiria, PortugalWhat is the purpose of that? To protect the inside or from the outside? :o) Very well seen Lorraine. That's a little detail that only some "eyes" can catch. Well done! 30 Sep 2008 10:28am @Rui: You're very nice Rui, thanks a lot :) Nina from Hamburg, GermanyWow, this is great, Lorraine!

I am curious about the red things. And looking at the double fence/gate there makes me wonder what needs keeping in, or keeping out. Nice photo today, m'lady. 30 Sep 2008 11:24am @Viewfinder: Thank you very much Kind Sir :) Viewfinder from Bradenton, United StatesAh, I see now. The red things are leaves.

I'm hearing the lyrics to 'Don't fence me in...'. 30 Sep 2008 2:13pm @Stephen Phillips: Gates, and gates....I hate cages :) Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United StatesI think the poor flower is singing the "Don't fence me in..." that Stephen mentioned. 30 Sep 2008 2:27pm @Judy: Yes I though it was overdone a bit much lol thanks a lot Judy :) alex centrella from California, United Statesdont know why, but this reminds me of a christmas card, i quess the red, and green and the graphic white. 30 Sep 2008 3:13pm @alex centrella: Yeah that'd work...nice Christmas theme , thanks Alex ;) leslie from norwich, United KingdomHad to have a 2nd good look at this one Lorraine --- the more i looked the more i love it.
