A crop down on the Riley radiator would be really effective for this theme, too.

Both the Hosta shots and the yellow grill of the car are stand out shots for me.

I like to make practical things out of old recycled horse shoes. Although i haven't made anything for a little while.

Here is a coat/tool rack i made. There's a lot of work involved, lots of cleaning, de-rusting using an angle grinder, electrolysis, wire brush. As well as the welding, which is the most enjoyable bit for me.

Very Nice Dominic, Super lighting there in the first shot. Hard to beat a bit of molten metal action, reminds of a guy that used to make scenes from MIG wire, he did a chap riding a bicycle down an old cobbled street, incredible to look at but not practical at all.

Very skillful and beautiful utilization of the horseshoes and the shadows in the second shot give me a stunning sense of speed and freedom with the vast flowing "mane"

I really like that, it has a great feel. I can almost smell the metal. I think you might have blown some of the highlights though! ;0)

(I wonder if there's a camera in existence that wouldn't... I'm guessing no)
