Startled

This is a simple zoom ICM of an interesting exhibit in the Islamic art section of the Ashmolean museum in Oxford.

 

If I remember rightly it’s a door or gate, wrought in iron with a regular star pattern, typical Arab minimalism. It’s quite large and hangs vertically on the exhibition room’s wall. I love regular patterns like this but struggled here to make it interesting.

 

I processed it from the raw file in Affinity on the iPaddle, using a simple black and white filter without toning.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Monochrome Thursday :)
