Comment by Army of nOne:
A slightly greater DOF bringing the front of the links into focus would have been nice. But if I had to have such a shallow DOF, I would have put it right where ou did. I like this shot.

Comment by Konador:
I think this would look more effective in B&W and a slightly wider DoF.

Comment by Amason:
The horizon is leaning way too much imo, nice sunrays, but you should cut off a little of the uninteresting foreground.

Comment by arpita:
the scene around when this picture was taken seems to be promising, but the picture as is lacks a focal point.
it appears that there are the beams from the clouds, which generally make for excellent pictures. perhaps you could have concentrated on that part for your picture. also, there are a large number of these posts in the background, and possibly they might have formed interesting lines had you chosen them for your subject.
as done, however, the subject appears to be the mud/sand in the foreground, which holds very little interest. also the line of poles cutting across don't contribute tha much.

Comment by juneCS:
I like the light from the sky and the repetation of the poles. Let's try to crop the below out and make the front pole as foreground. I am not a professional photographer, but let me know if it helps. And the horizon maybe a little tilted. Not sure if you intended or not. 7

Comment by Koriyama:
Overall, I find the subject a bit bland and the central black area takes away from the sharper points at the top and bottom. It's a nicely composed photo.

Comment by Gauti:
strange how it seem to be in focus on top and bottom but not in middle. ok, I understand now, the plan of focus is behind the front of the closest link. Deeper DOF is my recommendation.

Comment by Bud:
Very well done, the unique subject here makes a very strong foto, it would have benefitted from a white or black background to set it off more. 8.

Comment by Gatorguy:
Good representation of th challenge. My only nit is I find the shadow at the weld joint on the left side of the link a little distracting.
