Yes, I took this. And it hasn't been Photoshoped or touched up in any way.
And you get points for recognizing the subject matter. Actually, you get points for just replying but that's besides the point. We'll pretend it's because you know what this is a photograph of.
I just thought some of you might find this interesting:

Yes, it's the underside of a buggy. It's about 150 years old. But it has been rebuilt more than once. What I was hoping was that someone with a little knowledge of building materials or metal would find interesting the unique materials that were used in the making of this buggy. Oh, well!

Edwin, this was shot with a Nikon FM3, in manual mode, without flash. The colors you see are natural colors. The colors you see on the buggy are natural colors created by long exposures to the elements. The power-looking white is caused by a form of oxidation that occurs on certain types of metals. The photograph was taking just as the sun was dipping behind a ridge and shadows were being cast across the cobblestone drive the buggy sits on.
Assumptions are as natural as natural light but not always as accurate.

I love this photo, your use of lighting is great.
The picture overall was well executed.
It looks to me as if it is a modified (Modern ) picnic bench or a table of some sort.
Removing The Cold is gorgeous.
Has that photo been altered with a software program?
If so, it is really beautiful. I would hang it in my house.
Again, the colours pop.
Just one more talent of yours.
You never cease to amaze me Wats.
EDIT:
your photo IS not overexposed. Anyone should be able to determine this by looking at the images in the far distance.
They would not be visible if this photo WAS overexposed.
Other posters who have stated this are badly mistaken!!
Interesting is subjective. What one person finds of interest another may not, this I know you are aware of.
I think it is well executed as I have already stated.
Having over twenty years of experience in this field as well as my fortunate success, both financially and internationally, recognized in the industry, may lend some credence to my response to you.

I don't mean to offend or anything, but I just don't see the relevance to the picture. Did you mean buggy like a stagecoach? I'm not sure, I guess if I knew what it was then it would seem a bit more interesting. Sorry.

I think it's the underside of an old sled that would be pulled by a horse? Interesting I guess but would look better in a winter/fall setting.

Add another category: Indifferent. It might be interesting if I understood what it was and had a native interest in the whatever. At least it's in focus. Is it the underside of a buggy?

It's the undercarriage of a horse and buggy, um, buggy. Interesting...yes.

Its over-exposed. Much too bright. The flash totally washed out parts of it.
Properly exposed and in black and white it would be somewhat interesting.
EDIT:
Doc, I responded to what I saw - there was no assumption. It looks over-exposed. Period.

Buggy? Nothing that interesting about this photo. Sorry

It looks to me like the under carriage of some sort. It is really interesting though. I think that it is a neat picture.
