Today is all about form and color . . . and I enjoyed this so much, I may be doing this for a few more days! Here was the challenge to myself - Take something mundane and make it interesting. So where to find something like this? A few steps from my office is my garage . . . a wealth of photographic opportunity if you know where to look. In corner of said garage is the plow for my John Deere tractor . . . my eyes gazed over it and saw the spring used to raise and lower the plow blade and I knew I had my shot! The great yellow background you see in this is the plow itself! So there you have it . . . something mundane, turned interesting by zooming in and using color and shape contrast to please the eye!
