Good shot. I like the colors. I like the use of the tree in the shot but I think that it occupies a bit too much of the frame. Maybe if it was about 1/3 less of the tree.

A very nice fresh shot - I would maybe crop off some of the tree on the left as it seems to command too much attention and take away from the subject.

Beautiful lush colors and textures - very nice composition and framing. I love this photo - it's evocative of a wonderfully tranquil place where I'd be happy to sit around and watch the roof rust.

The greens are a little on the idyllic side, but the colors of the barks, rust, and water ring true. I guess just idyllic conditions of light and time of year. The framing on the right hand side is obviously difficult. From what I can see moving the side in to the left might work. I think I would love to play this course. It should appeal to almost any golfer or lover of fairy tales. You get a 9 from me.

Interesting composition. Was going to complain about the rust not being dominant enough, but then I realize this was just plain nice to rest the eye upon after voting on some 300+ red images. And the object was to compose around rust, not shoot rust. Is it a golf course by chance? The grass behind the house seems golfy..

However - must complain about something right? The focus is a bit off. Shorter DOF and the focus dead on the rusty house would have made this really good. Perhaps just a little less tree to the left too I think. Anyway, nice warm image. Good luck!

I think this picture really captures the essence of the challenge.

Rewrite: After revisiting DOF looks good, image just appears to be in soft focus. Very nice overall.
