Aperture: f/2.8

 Wet and gloomy day in the Phoenix area brought out the colors in this gate, which caught my eye with the contasting gold lock.

Processed mostly through RAW conversion options in ACR 2.0 then finished in CS3 with slight rotate/crop to correct horizon and a Channel Mixer adjustment layer in monochrome set to Multiply blend mode (Opacity lowered to 95%) for the rich, contrasty feel. Smart Sharpen and resize for web (frame/border created during resize).
