Bell in the roses

Aah, pity. You made a bad canvas resize mistake here. Everyone will comment on that, though. Now, for the remaining 90% of your photo:nice use of sepia, but as this challenge was about metal, I would not agree that sepia enhances the appearance of metal in this photo. The title indicates that it is a bell, hence metal, but without the title I would think of this as some sort of pottery work. 4.

Reflections are distracting. Not sure what you could have done to aviod them though. Nice photo otherwise.

It seems to be leaning, some negative rotation might have helped the feel

Nice shot - however you flipped it vertically for some reason and it strongly affects the way I look at it. May not affect many other users
Also, looks to me like it was a tad oversharpened. Still, out of this world definitively. (6)

I love reflection shots. On this one, I would prefer not to have included that tree trunk on the left side. It steals attention and in my opinion adds no real value to the photo.
I'd also try increasing saturation on this one just a bit.

Congratulations to fellow Austinite! What a wonderful way to depict construction without cranes and the rest... this photo tells a story, and does not advertise construction equipment.

Congratulations on your Blue!

There's too much of the empty space at the bottom, perhaps if you cropped the bottom 10% or so, the photo would be more appealing to look at. (6)

I would have done a tighter crop around the 'frame' so that you avoid losing points on DNMC because of the small object (the city in the background). This way, the object is the frame itself, not the city behind it. I think that this would have fared between 5.5 and 6.5 given the rest of the images (top 20%)

excellent idea, kind of wasted on a non-interesting subject. (to me at least). This would have worked much better if you caught something more spectacular in a reflection. (6).
