These elements fit together perfectly, don't they! I like the color and composition. You have quite an eye for still life images. But just curious, wot's written on that little note stuck in the mail slot? shu

Thanks Brent:-)

Nice sharp looking image Rod. Well done.
Rod 07-Oct-2006 21:32
Thanks Mark:-) I'm doing well if I get me shots on topic, getting one that's a good picy as well is asking a bit much mate:-):-)

Nicely seen, Rod. The "three threes" certainly qualify the image for the challenge.
I would like to have seen this one in B &W. Too many colors and textures are incongruous to me :-) Markjay

Thanks RK:-)

Awesome find and wonderfully photographed. Love the muted colors and the bright golden 333,

Thanks Alexei & Jano:-) It's not fake Jano, Aammms just having a joke becouse of me cloning in two awks in me other picy.........well I think he is joking.....he may well have just gone troppo......again:-)
The round thingy is for the delivered newspaper.

nice textures

Magnificent find :) I don't see anything "fake" about this... Obviously this is a fancy mail slot through the fence for a walking postal guy? The round thing looks like it is filled with rubber inside. Well seen Rod. jano
Rod 30-Sep-2006 01:58
Thanks Carole & again Aaammm:-)

What about the round thing at the button. Good job trying to mimic the wooden board(s) behind ;)
ctfchallenge30-Sep-2006 00:28
This is funny Rod. While the 3s make for too many eyes, the letter box looks like a nose and the round part looks like a mouth to me! Nice composition and I like all the different textures here. CJ
Rod 29-Sep-2006 23:47
Thanks all:-) Yes this is really real, I was working next door at 335 so I thought I would wander down to get a shot of the number 333 & lucky enough to get a decent looking letter box. Some people build them into bricks things or cut in the fence like this one or nailed to the stump of a tree like us:-). I got some shots of this in full sunlight but before I left I got some in the shade which turned out much better for the brass & the bonus of the mail man having been putting a letter in to add tension...........of course:-)
When you're all voting don't forget the stroke of genius by having three fence palings as well as the three threes……………The missus said I’m really amazing:-)

LOL
after reading previous posts..... must say Rod you have found a good treasure.
I see piece of mail and hint of box behind so maybe this is what they do in Oz :)

Good capture of 333 ;)
aam1234 29-Sep-2006 21:25
Naa, it's faker than fake. Sorry Rod.
ctfchallenge29-Sep-2006 20:19
I like it. I don't think rod made it. That would be too much like work. Shouldn't you be working any way rod. :o) PeteH
aam1234 29-Sep-2006 19:59
Hmm, upon further inspection I think Tom has a good point. So tell us Rod, in OZ land do people put their mail thing on fences?
ctfchallenge29-Sep-2006 18:20
this cannot be real, you made it up!

LOL
