Thanks, Jack.

It was in fact shot from the shaded side, though it was a pretty overcast day. I'm not seeing the mossy hue, though I'm using a completely uncalibrated monitor, so that would explain why.

I really should bring the thing inside just to make sure I still have it to work with in the future as an ongoing project. It would really suck if a storm blew it over and broke the glass. It's amazing that it hasn't happened before now, come to think of it.

It would make a nice detail shot, but I see it as slightly dark.

Subject: PESO: Traveler's Lantern

Here's a shot of an old coal oil lantern I took the other day while doing yard 
work. It's old and rusted and would probably be a decent subject in the hands 
of someone who's particularly adept at subtle HDR -- which I'm not. So, I 
figured I'd convert it over to a monochrome and give it a platinum process 
look, ad some grain and bump the contrast a bit.

For some reason, Flickriver is showing a little .jpg link icon right in the 
middle of the photos at the moment, so I used the Flickr lightbox display. 
Here's the normal flickr display for those who don't get along with the 
lightbox.

Comments, critiques and suggestions welcome. I tend to have a heavy hand with 
filters and such, so if there's something that I could be doing to improve my 
images in that respect, please let me know.

Thanks!

Walt
