I really, really like this one. But that frame is way too heavy for the lovely colors and composition. So, down to a 7. Still, it's just lovely.

I really liked this one. Should have placed higher.
This was one of my '10's.

That's a beauty. Almost an abstract and one to be very pleased with.

Very nice. If it was just the tiniest bit sharper it would be super!

I too like this image and gave it a six.

But that border is a bit difficult for the picture. I immediately went to the top edges and wondered "whoops, what happened here - should have cropped that..." as the white border appeared to almost blend into the very nice sky. Without that border, I think the image would have placed higher.

Still, it's a lovely photograph.

Greetings from the Critique Club

You certainly chose a fine subject for this Challenge. It works well in monochromatic mode too.

I have a couple of thoughts for you. First. The structure (Silo?) is almost there. I'd like to see the top of it as well. A viewer tends to want to complete the image, and in this case, is stopped a bit short.

Then, it would be good to see something that was a bit more in focus. Either a part of the structure or a tree. Just something to give a viewer something to hang on to.

Finally, an old favorite in our Camera Club, Border Patrol. Perhaps by moving a bit to the left, that partial tree to the right side of your image would be eliminated. (Now, if you moved over there and there was a big pit or something, you can tell me to go jump in it, instead...)

Seriously, you have a good image here that fits the Challenge. It wouldn't take much tweaking to make it really good.

Keep up the good work.

An unusual view of a lock and weather-worn door. It's a relief to see your interpretation of the subject; usually such shots tend to be straight on and boring. This one has interest. It also has grain, the object of the Challenge.

Your attention to detail in the processing of this image also adds to the mystery and uniqueness.

You were quite well rewarded by the voters for your image and I too, can only say, "well done!"
