The spiderweb is very cool in this image, and I like the rectangular cropping. A droplet of water on the web would have really bumped this up for me.

Amazing shot!! This is one of my favorites in the rust challenge. I love how the spider webs surround the rust. It helps the viewer to remember that rust is old, and it also gives a rather ancient, mysterious feeling. Amazing job. Also, the photo is perfectly in focus. 10!

Comment by whagerbaumer:
I like diffused background. There is immense realism and lack of pose in this shot. The colors are right on, the cobweb help, and I really like how the diffusion of the background works. This picture immediately made me aware that I do not know what the galvanization process for iron is or what causes the white spots I see on galvanized pipes. Any picture that makes me think deserves a good rating. I just am not too happy with the composition.

For me clipping each side heavily results in a much stronger picture. On the left just to the right of the open pipe end, and to the right just a little beyond the end of the wire.

An 8.

cobwebs really add to the interest of this shot, like the colour contrasts too.
