    The anchor chain on the ferry across to Bere Island, County Cork. Switched the flash on to try and show the rust in more detail and try and bring out the colour of the links.

    See where this picture was taken. [?]

      I love the softness of the sea contrasting with the harsh engineering of the chain (1-2-3)

      Its the out of focus water that makes this shot. The rippling water is a great subtle feature. 1-2-3.

      An eye pleasing photograph
      Love the colors and the strengh of character this links seem to display.

      The design in the center looks like a double-sided axe head.

      I was sorry to see this one go form the top 20 rust and crust. it should have been there longer in my opinion.

      Thanks for the kind comments.
      They are really appreciated.
      and @archkiter in relation to the top 20 rust group, I was more disappointed that no one left a lue as to why it'd gone. However after looking at recent entries, there did seem to be a number of rusty chains or links in there so maybe it was just a bit of a jaded shot.
