Blacksmith Door with Hinge and Lock -HP Museum

 This is the door to the blacksmith cabin at the HP Museum that I posted a few days ago.   I tried to make the lock centered because I was aiming for symmetry with the diagonal lines.The left image is in color and I did increase the shadows and mid-tones, sharpend in PSE 11.Then, for the right image I changed to "old fashioned" look by choosing tone and hue to give a sepia old wood look.

Blacksmith Cabin with Herb Garden - High Point Museum

When my sister was here we went to the High Point Museum.  In all the years I have lived in the Triad, have never gone there. During the week they did not have docents in costume like they do on the weekends.
My main reason for going was to see the miniature small scale furniture displays. That is not the best venue for taking pictures with an iPhone. You really need a monopod.  There are several log cabins outside.  It was overcast.  This is the blacksmith structure.  I did take a picture of the end of one of the logs but will post separately.  It has texture and I converted to B&W. HDR Camera+. Minimal editing with PSE 11.
