Great stone texture. Happy weekend.
Great perspective of all the elements; such nice capture of the texture of the stone in the mix with the wooden surface! It looks so very special! A nice weekend!
Nice tone and texture, whatcha making?
Wonderful textures in this image.
I love light and shadows in this picture!
The texture is incredible.
Visiting from BLACK AND WHITE WEEKEND.
FRANKLY MY DEAR
Cool juxtaposition of shapes, textures, and greys...
Nice work capturing the textures!
I especially like this work on light and textures. A nice picture with great relief
This is probably a very large ... with beautiful structure!
Great texture.
Great captured.
wood and stone - great combination.
Beautiful textures and light and shade in the picture!
Wonderful b&w, like the structure of it.
Have a fantastic week!
In the old days we had much use of this tool. Not anymore, but they are still beautiful to look at.
I always enjoy when you post an image of a mundane everyday object.
You have your way of making it appear extraordinary. The itmr on this photograph can be an ancient ruin, a monument or a modern artwork...
Great work as always!
Stumbled upon this blog quite by accident, but enjoy photography! I agree with other comments regarding the texture of the stone & also the contrast with the smooth wood & plaster. Works really well in B&W, which simply serves to enhance all of the textures and the contrast.
