A close-up photo of a rusty metal gate secured with an old latch and a weathered white padlock. The background shows a blurred chain-link fence and industrial structures, slightly out of focus. The lighting highlights the textures of rust and metal wear.

Shifting a little closer tonight—focusing more on texture and small details.

I found this old gate and lock at an abandoned site. The way the rust and wear caught the light felt like it told its own story.

Would love any feedback on editing—especially color balance, contrast, or clarity.
