Results . The second CAMERADERI.ORG challenge. Pipes and conduit

Not sure if it's too late for an entry, but if so, so be it...but if not, here is mine. A pipe (singular), somewhat old, rusty, and definitely out of commission. Or, as the painter René Magritte once said: "Ceci n'est pas une pipe." (translation: “This is not a pipe.”)

Thanks Miguel. There's not a lot done that photo - one of the reasons I lov the rokinon 12 f2 so much is that, wide open, it vignettes and flares and shoves a ton of character into images.
 
Most sincere apologies for my absence. Working in the far north west of Scotland. Intermittent cell signal and internet at slow slug speed. I’ll get on it as soon as I can. Borrowing a bit of satellite time for this message
 
Ok everyone, I’m back in civilisation. Mmmm ! Or am I ! So tomorrow I will have a gander at all the entries. Quite a few considering the slow start. I’d like to apologise again for my absence. Work dragged me away, and thank everyone for their submissions. This is not going to be as easy as I thought .
 
Apologies one more time for dragging this out. So I’ll be brief. Only because I’m suffering with a back problem and tried unsuccessfully to remove my little finger with a saw. This morning was second visit to A&E to try and stop it leaking! And yes I have photos.
So here goes. And thanks to all who entered. The winner is the lovely b&w supplied by aKilter. I like the simplicity and the full range of tones. A really well seen and processed image. Honourable mentions to Jock Elliot because I love marine steam boats. Mnhoj for his cats and finally killramsey for his excellent use of shallow dof
 
Thank you, for the nice compliments and choosing me as the winner, Garry. I really liked mnhoj and KillRamsey’s images, as well. Both were winning photos, IMO.

Hopefully, you didn’t sever the tendon in your finger and your back is feeling better. I can commiserate, as I suffer from periodic back pain myself.

I hadn’t given any thought to winning, so please allow me some time to come up with a theme. I will have the new contest posted no later than tomorrow.
