Mechanical Graveyard

There's too much of everything. Too much of gray and way too much colors (feels oversaturated), too much of flurry and hussle. It very hard to say what's the point of the image apart of "mechanical things attract others to the limit of chaos". Still, there's lot to see here, so even if my eyes would have liked to skip I maintained my position over this for a moment.

Great image if it was like this. Now it feels way overly saturated and contrasted. On the other hand, many people like candy colors. In any case the composition is nice, giving room for the background in balanced way.

The Pratice Issue

The image is quite gray (or was before toning). Nice idea. I would have liked the metronome positioned closer to center, now it's falling away. Highlight at after the rightmost hand could be good, but feels like it's also too close to the border to be good now.

Cold tones fit, but light doesn't seem good elsewhere than on leftmost leg. Background is horrible, but that you probably knew already.

Very nice touch. Light is perfect and you've managed to get even some sparkle in some brilliant droplets. It feels so done, but still is elusive as it's natural enough. Can't say yet if that's ribbon, but it's good anyway.

They do these electronically too these days, but I simply cannot see why. Odd feeling when the light or environment haev some blue and green parts. Shadow makes the bottom wheel look like it barely fits into the frame.

More about trademark and rhythm than about title or topic. Nice lights.

It's hard to see what's going on, so without other knowledge I might believe it's some glass sphere with some weird reflections. Nice idea though, so I guess the execution needs to be worked a bit more.

Even though the use of colors, light and composion is nice here, I'm hardly pushed to believe this thing isnt' electronical. For composition I'd like you to reconsider if you feel the big wheel with smaller wheel at the closer end of the Singer is the most important part. Now it's greatness, inherent constrasty and location in frame all emphasises it's meaning. I also believe it was your decision to use such a short focal length, but maybe you could reconsider longer now.

For BW this image is quite gray overall. W is reserved for skies and little detail at left rocks. The best portion is bottom right quadrant where the tones go well together. The feeling is that train needs to climb a bit, so with faster speed it would rock over poor photographer. Luckily there's no sense of speed here, so the feeling transforms into idea of heavy weight cargo being pulled. Too bad the mechanical topic is slightly dismissed by trains facade highlights caused by electronics.
