Fantastic shot! The only thing I would possibly change is to reflect a bit of light onto the bottom of the padlock to reveal a bit of detail there. Well done though.

I dont get it...but the selective desaturation is good.

Nice composition, almost off-centered. The perspective is really good. I like the contrast in colors between the rust and the sky.

Very well done...

Comment by Artifacts:
The technique to desaturate all but one object or color is OK to know but it is way overdone and there really is not much call to use it anywhere really. However, you have done an EXCEPTIONAL job with it in this image. The technical quality here is about the best I have ever seen at this site. This is one of the best images in this challenge.

It is one of my top three choices.

Great highlighting of the subject in this image, and what a beautiful blue background. the underside of the padlock appears a bit too dark.

Without the selective desaturation, the idea of the image would be lost. The feet seem almost super saturated. I can't decide if I like it our not... 7

Hm... interesting idea. Cant help but thinking the poles create a chaotic, distracting, pattern which is preventing me from be at rest with the composition. . 6.
