Interesting shot but I dont get the texture in it. If this was a challenge in form or symetry I would rate this very high.

Comment by martinwoods_uk:
This is a good image, it falls into the debate on the site about "is it texture or is it structure and form?" Personally I think this is all about form and structure rather than texture which to me is the way something feels. In your image I don't know which bit I am supposed to be feeling and although I know from experience what some of these items feel like the picture doesn't tell me.

Last one I saw was in a silo configuration. The shot is too dark, with the center way tooo bright. I am surprised with that lighting, this turned out as viewable as it did. (that was a compliment, really!) Even so, 6 Swash

Radio stations still using these? Washed out a little at the far end on you. 6 nards656

A really facinating picture. I love the metallic textures, and your picture's quality is excellent.

Meets Challenge5
Total Score6

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

I've never seen one if these before all of our data has to be retrevable in real time.
I realy have to stretch to get texture out of this picture if pattern.

I didn't know that people still used these things. I thought that with the advent of 120gb hard drives we didn't need these old robots. Great photo!!!
