About a second try on that subject, using cloth-pegs in perspective, some modern new and colorfull plastic pegs against the old one, the lonely woody one... with lot feallings about how people think sometimes for our older people... :-(

John, excellent use of depth of field here (and your title is very fitting). I've never tried to take photos of such simple household items before, but you've given me an idea here.

Warmest regards ~ James

How clever John. The focus being on the "old" pin creates great illusion on the ones up front. I may attempt this sometime ;)

I like your old peg. Just like the ones we still have. I thing the cloth pegs constitute a good sill life subject. Excellent image!

I like it! Very creative John. Excellent reflection. Wouldn't it be great to have these 3rd age Learning Centers all around, our elders still enjoy doing lots of things. I watch with how much enthusiasm my grandparents attend their weekly meetings. There is so much to learn from them.

I like the quality of the image, without noise, without a speckle of dust, digital perfection!As for the subject, the second image on the same subject,you know , what comes to my mind is not the old age but the different people who become mere observes of other people's lives.They just can't become part of the reality because of their beliefs and even appearance.The other people regard them as outcasts.So they remain silent,lurking in the dark, watching with sadness the others' parties with perhaps only one optimistic thought in their minds.That maybe it is preferrable to be different rather than a part of the masses.

Old and alone, but most prominent of them all. I like the symbolic figure you use. It is quite expressive, despite its simple appearance.
Well done, dear John.
