Pikes Peak would have sufficed- all the rest really isn't necessary.

Almost 60

Unfortunately I didn't get to vote on all entries in this challenge. This is a great shot. Full of contrasts and opposing feels. Age - or oldness - seems apparent. What really strikes me is the difference between the top and bottom half of the shot. The top seems so smooth and graceful in a way. The bottom is rough, rigid. Very nicely composed and the tight crop really helps him/her to stand out for the full frame and not just part of it. Nice job! Great image!

Congrats on a top 20! At first look I was bothered by the oof portion on the left forground. As I reviewed them for voting, I realized it actually was an important part of the composition (intentional?) It sets up an 'emergence' sort of feel. The colors and the subtle changes and flow in the shot are excellent!! From gray sky at top down through the soft pastels of the sky to the water and beach is one of the nicest transitional flows of color and contrast - definitely at the right place at the right time. Well done!! Very nice capture!!!

Man...sorry about the DQ. I know where at least one of your tens came from. I love this shot. Very unique and creative.

A lot of interesting things going on here...almost too busy with the reflections and changes in depth across the image. I start out looking at your subject but very quickly wander to the background. Looking at it a few more minutes I find myself looking through your subject and around it bypassing your subject altogether. The wheel seems a bit dark. The rust can handle this. But perhaps if the wheel was a little brighter to get more detail of the surface as well as making that yellow stand out a bit more may have helped to keep the subject the point of focus.

I think this could have been much stronger if a 'perspective' crop was used.

I know... it is only the title. But... it is part of the overall presentation of your entry. A spelling error in the title leaves the impression you don't care enough about your entry to spell the title correctly.

I think this would have been a much stronger entry if more attention had been paid to the background and lighting. The paperclip also detracts from the concept of 'age' or being old.

How do we (the voters) know that this saddle is new?
