That's the problem with railroad tracks - they don't tend to decay all that well even after a hundred years. The foreground on the tracks seems pretty sharp, but the rest appears quite soft for a deep dof shot. No vote, I'm in this one.

It is urban decay but I find the composition lacking something. I wished I could put my finger on it for you. Perhaps if there were more going on in the foreground tracks to place the focus on and throw the background out of focus. I will give it a 6 because I see merit in the photo and nothing technically wrong, it just doesn't work for me. Sorry.

Now there's a familiar site. Looks a little bit like Nuzzers porch in the foreground.

If this is yours Alex, I think you're getting ripped on the score. Would have thought an easy 6. The light and colours are lovely, and really shows off the raw beauty of Piha. Wonder if the stone wall and fencing are throwing the nitpickers off though? Still, undeserving of less than 6. Hope it improves for you.

eta: ooops not Alex! Sorry about that.

I love playing in the water on a flat beach like this. And I love the scene. Thanks.

Nice landscape scene, but lacks a bit 'pop'. Personally, I would have also cloned out the little boat.

I am curious if and how much USM you applied to this...it seems that it could stand some more. Some of the detail is lost in the haze

A beautiful area!! The wall in the corner may distract a little from the composition. The sky is beautiful.
