This has a nice atmosphere. Tha shadow area has a lot of contrast and really commands the eye. Cropping a little from the bottom would help reduce its significance and help the eye to remain on the intended subject.

The colours in this are beautiful... I'd probably clone out the shadow if it were advanced editing, but no use quibbling about that in a basic. :) This is a very sharp, pleasing photograph, and it is among my favourites for this challenge - 10

I have absolutely no idea what this is, but I really like it... meets the challenge very well despite having an overall lack of colour. The blue works nicely with the grey, gives it a very spacey look.

Can't tell the pipe is that rusted. You get a 10 from me. Just because I think this is an outstanding picture in every way. The white speck on the cloud would not be there if you could do local editing. The light blue of the sky is just in the right place. The union of the pipes is nicely lit. The rock is aesthetically piled and presents lots of variations on a theme of hardness as do the watery shapes of the cloud formations overhead. A 10.

this is a very nice perspective.. although the rust is not excagerrated, i think it fits the challenge perfectly.. much better than some of the pictures of "only"rust in this challenge.. "7"

Awesome sky. Would have liked a bit of detail underneath the pipe. Perhaps a fill in flash.
