Wide open !! Surprised you got such deep definition of the paperbark trunk. Gorgeous light - and the bokehed blues of the sky balance the warm tones just right I reckon.

(thought i was just getting warmed up then Kim called with an emergency errand i had to run.... argh)

pure photographic creativity!

Wonderful old thing, effective composition as Rod noted. Liking the brass on black look, a bit more classy than modern chrome.

Boys and their toys. I like how you've used the wheels in your comp.; there's very nice definition overall, and the brass bits have a lovely natural sheen.

argh couldn't make up my mind about those branches (oddly enough)
in the moment sort of thought it added to the filmic whimsy i was after

The whole image - the house, the fence and flowers and your choice of pp/tomes has a very pleasant 1970s AGFA film feel to me. Those flowers are very well looked after. OCD insists I'd clone out the stray branches top left.

Quite a profusion of blues/cyans; presumably the owner picks his/her flower colours carefully to match the house. ICE has done well too.

A great image and fun to explore! Feel better!
