Love the composition and it's nice to learn that an upside-down horse shoe doesn't mean bad luck! (thanks for that info, Keith)

I have one of those above my front door! :) Love the find and texture. This is so cool! Of course, it reminds me of home! :)

Nice composition and contrast. V
A bit of smithying trivia: an upturned shoe can hold good luck in it, equally a downturned shoe over a doorway will poor the good luck on to all that come through the door!

Very nice focus on the horse shoe, leaving the residence behind in soft detail. V

Super eye for detail Mairead, well isolated with the big(ish) aperture

Nicely done. Great job capturing both the detail of the horseshoe's texture and the hint of the house behind. Lucky find!
