Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

Great shot-at first I thought they were huge pieces of linked metal!
Oh,nice patterning, repetition. Have a happy weekend, Louise!
this is a nice shadow. I like it a whole lot.
I love thoose kind of photos and here is much to look at in your blog. I love your photos of the lady slipper.I missed last week B&W and the lunch timer is a photo i wouldn´t mind to have in my archive. Have a nice evening.
The chain link is common, the rust on the steel wire not so attractive. However, the shadow has none of the rusty blemishes, the shape of the link perfectly formed, as it seems to wrap around the pole. Stunning it is, artistic shadows and wonderfully captured!

I'm a big fan of things rusty and this is great!!
Nice shadow :)
Terrific shadow shot for the day, Dimple! Isn't it fun to find shots like this one? It's one reason I keep my camera close at hand -- surprised I haven't started sleeping with it!!! Hope your weekend is going well!

I am very impressed with the close-up of the chain-link fence. It is a work of art!
SHADOW DANCE
Shadows left and shadows right;
Shadows dancing through the night;
Shadows crouching on the wall;
Shadows spring and shadows fall
On the unsuspecting guest,
Who thought shadows offered rest!

Love this shot, lots of symbolism in it.
I like everything about this photo! The rust, the shadow, the bokeh...it's great!
My, aren't you the artsy lady! Very nice ShadowShot. Is that part of a fence? Happy SSS.
This is great Dimple -- one of your best ever. Of course (when you have time) you'll play with this one in B&W. The color version is excellent. Who knows what you can do????
AMAZING photo. Love it...

Cool shadow shot. The chain link looks quite intimidating at this range too.
All the best, Boonie

Striking photography. The rust on the metal with the light and shadows is fabulous. You really did it this week. Kudos for one fine shot. Genie
Well done! Cathy
Great light and details of the rust!
I like the composition and the light - very well done :)
I love the shadow, Dimple!
Great shadow and shot!
Love rusty stuff!!! One of my favorite things and you did a great job capturing it!
Such a simple shot filled with nice shadows and texture blends.
That's a great shot! And quite lovely.
So tell me; why is it that I hate fences 'ruining the landscape', so why do I love these detail shots? I take them myself, too!
Nice light and nice shadow.
What a great photo--such an interesting shadow, and the chain has its own charm too. Excellent shot. Have a great week. Mickie :)
I LOVE the colors and textures on the fence post! :)

great shot. :)
What a wonderful image! I am slowly learning how to use my camera... I've got a long way to go!
In real life, I don't like chains and rust, but I do like them here,in your picture.
There's something about the chain, its shadow, and the colors (including the color of rust) that make this capture great.
There is beauty even in a rusty chain link fence and you have captured that in this lovely photo.

You make chain link look so beautiful and meaningful! I'm going to go outside to see what my husband calls "that misbegotten fence" and try to look at it like you do!
Nice shadow find, Dimple... all I could think of was "Chain, chain, chain...chain of fools"
An Aretha Franklin classic!
Hope you have a great Friday.
