The gristmill at Walnford Park contains artifacts from the working era of the mill in the middle 1800’s. This container caught my eye and thought it would make a great still life. I don’t do much of this type of photography but thought it would look great tonemapped, I wasn’t dissappointed.
Processed in Photomatix and then worked the image in Color Efex Pro then did some burning in Elements 10 and finally finished it off with a off center vignette and some blurring of the edges to accentuate the container.

Almost as good as being there.
Love the texture, color and center focus.
Love the grittiness of the image and also the simple composition!
I can almost smell the odor of grease and oil…very nice!
