Travelling in Steel

Great use of leading lines and the tilt of the horizontals (of the steps) adds an extra element as it makes it feel offbalance. Nice range of metal textures too shown up well in the unusual light.

Mundane scene turned into art - lovely use of light and lines. Horizontal of clouds and horizon/ sky against diagonals of rails works well.

Very strikeslippy. Cool idea. Teeth seem too white, too bright.

Intriguing scene - nice contrast between hard lines of the metal and softness of water/ organic roundness of pebbles.

Lovely textures and nice use of shallow DOF.

One Is Not Like The Other

Without the light at the end of just one pipe this would be quite unexceptional. With that wonderful focal point and the intrigue it provides, it works very well. For me there's quite a tension in wanting to fly through that pipe and look out of the other end...

Approaching Retirement

Ooh how lovely! I love the ambience (for lack of a better word) of this image. I like the way this conveys stories of abandoned lives and nature taking back what man once took from it. I like the composition - the nail off-centred, the diagonals of the wood leading backwards in a line towards the verticals of the forest tree trunks and the light - lovely light. Shame about the touch of blowout where the main area of light comes through the trees but... it doesnt hurt it too much. This is cool!

Lovely study, nice composition, lovely shallow DOF giving nice blur to background, works well in black and white - it's all light and shadow and form!
