Very Nice. using great b&w balance and depth and perfect composition and cropping you made what most people wouldn't even think of photgraphing into a great photo!

Too tight. This could have been a pretty shot...

what an excellent observation. an absolute shame you didn't correct the horizon, as the tilt does nothing to enhance the image...

Great DOF. I really like the symmetry of the chairs leading in a curve through the photo. Makes my eye follow the entire picture.

This was a wise choice doing it in black & white.
The tilt of the two tables kinda' throws off my balance in this - minor point though, as I am not a very well balanced person. (grin)

My kind of shot - love the quietness of it, the curve of the composition.

a shot that tells a story. i love it (especially that padlock and chain!)

imho, the composition is too in between ... would have liked to have seen you a lot closer in to the subject to concentrate more on the lines and the forms, or a lot farther away to give more of a sense of what was closed for the season.

Good DOF, good in B&W

good lines. Tilt on the table tops needs to be more severe or leveled out. The slight tilt is distracting.

Very nice use of DOF, beyond that I'm not exactly sure why I like this one so much. It's a great photo, 9!

B&W works really good with this picture.

I have definitely seen this one before, and I remember loving it. It's so simple, but it says so much. The lighting and composition are fantastic.

great DoF effects here, turns an ordinary subject into something more

Everything leads to the primary subject - the lock - which is not in focus. The impact of the photo is lacking as a results. Things that might help could include a bit of a contrast boost in that area...
