Thanks everyone for your great comments on this. I tried to work with the barrel distortion on this but I have an old version of Photoshop (4) and it doesn't offer that process, at least as far as I could tell. I would like to try it in b&w and adding grain sounds like it would make it more interesting but I will not have time to do that today before the end of the challenge. I do appreciate all the comments! ~Sharon

Good one! Do correct the barrel distortion though. This would work well in sepia with some grain too, or even just adding some grain to this b/c it's such a 'clean' shot of aged materials. ~ Lonnit

Good shot, great for the challenge theme. I like the curiosity and the texture of the wood. Might also make a great B & W shot. The image needs distortion treatment, obiously and is not hard to accomplish in Photoshop and most other full fledge image programs. Markjay

Wonderfully executed. My first thought when thinking of the challenge was something like this.

Thanks, Cat! I hadn't noticed the "learn" section of dp review before, there looks to be lots of stuff there I can use! ~Sharon

nicely done elips. i think this definitely fits the topic. i'd also be interested in knowing how to correct the barrel distortion (i think that`s what you call it). - andrew

I like this one, Sharon, curves or not. The worn paint/wood adds an air of mystery.

Thanks, Yvonne! The curve is caused by the 17mm wide angle part of my lens. I like it too as it makes the spy looked spied upon. However, I did try to adjust it to make the lines straight but I couldn't figure out how to do it in my old version of Photoshop (4). Just so I know for the future, does anyone have any hints on how this might be done? ~Sharon

Elips, This is such a true statement of curiosity. (or is it nosey?) In any case, a really good entry. I like how it seems curved. Yvonne
