jmritzComment by moodville: Color/toning: What a great rust color! The image also has the various hues of different rusts that blends well together.
Composition/cropping: There is a lot of detail here to take in and I think it's nicely evened out over the shot.
Subject: I have no idea what it is, but it doesnt matter. The texture of the rust is great, as is the color. The curves and lines keep the eyes flowing over the image, taking in all the details. It is very easy to believe there are a lot of hidden stories here. Has interest and meets the challenge.
Technical: Great texture and color, the harsh light works well with the subject matter and the shadow of the lock is not distracting at all. The chainlinks on the right are a little sharper than the left, but it really doesnt matter in the long run.
Artistic: It's bright yet atmospheric, great texture, and plenty of potentional stories.
Overall: It has interest and is backed up with great color, texture, and clarity. A great image!
