May 2011. Happy with my first digital SLR: an occasion Nikon D80 SLR which I bought two months before.
Subject of this picture is a footboard of a huge American truck.

To my surprise, in October 2011 it was the winning photo in the Samsung Macro contest by Focus, a well-known Dutch photo magazine.

It also meant my start on Flickr, the site from which I get much inspiration from for this kind of pictures and learned al lot from others contributors.
