Nice cloud formations. In my opinion the landscape detracts from your shot. I think the clouds would appear much more dramatic if you simply blacked out the rest.

Too dark. I thinkif you moved the horizon to the lower third, it would have more impact.

Angry clouds over yonder! This pic should have been sharpened in the postprocessing phase to reduce the unfocused effect. The composition is good though.

At first glance the greyness of the land kinda turned me off of the overall picture. However, after looking at it for a few minutes I now think it completely enhances the picture. I really like the fence in the corner too, don't know why, I just like it.

Critique Club Critique:
Composition/Content: The central point of focus, the square, looks broken and dirty and is not very attractive. The image is busy with the background items distracting from the subject. It might have been better to back up and show what the lock looks like and its relationship to the square.
Camera Work/Technical: Focus is a little soft even on the main subject. Exposure is good with good color.
Overall Opinion: The subject is an interesting subject but not at the angle it is currently captured. A slightly different composition with more of the lock in the foreground and a spot focus on the square would blur the background more, make the square sharper, and would better show the square's relationship to the lock.
