Thanks Christakis:-) Yes it's another valve wheel behind. The telephoto compression makes it look a lot closer than it is. I agree it does need a tone down a.

That aura baffled me I have to admit. My first reaction was camera shake, then I was like no that cant be it, maybe there's another wheel behind it. Then i though, no that doesn't make sense. Anyhow... The red blurred part gives a nice touch to the image. I think it would be a bit better if is was a little less intense...

Thanks again Carole & Tommy:-) That red in the background is the hydrants aura Carole, it's sort of mystical a:-)

Love the red and green but I wish you had stooped down a little to eliminate the red in the background over the word "closed"...........I think! :-) CJ

Well judged saturation of the red keeps if from becoming annoying. Just enough green and good bokeh give it good thrust forward. -tv

You did start off with a "bang". I'm anxious to see some of your new creations.
