An unusal find. I love the shadows and colors. Not really sure what it is. Maybe a type of wind chime? I love how you capture things and it creates a vision you have to think about. Nice work Paddy! #8704246Tammy M. Anderson June 19, 2010

Great find...whatever it is!!! Excellent image of it. Nicely done. #8704571frank w. degenhardt June 19, 2010
Patrick- You sure do come up with them. Not sure what the purpose of this was but someone made use of old cans and bottle tops. It may be ugly but the photo work you did to take a picture of it isn't. Love the rustic colors, excellent lighting and clarity, and that trademark texture. Gorgeous work of an ugly stick.Renata Gusciora June 19, 2010

Congratulations Patrick a well deserved Finalist - wonderful image and certainly has created a talking point and much interest - my thought is people do odd things with their time, is it a work of art ? (well it is now, yours) or just being tidy ? #8766087Renata Gusciora July 16, 2010
