Although this one doesn't leap to the top of the competition in this challenge, the yellow-brown weeds, gravel, and gritty sidewalk have an honest kind of artistic merit that I didn't get at first glance.

I am surprised that this didn't score better than it did. It is a great photo and the use of duotones enhances the photo, as opposed to many of the entries that just converted a photo to dutone to fit the challenge. It is a shame the voters didn't appreciate your efforts more. It is still a nice score, but I think it should have been higher!

Nice lines, and the message is very adequate... the pic has an onimous feel that I like!

By turning the picture I think you should have made the bridge completely parallel to the to of the frame.

I like the composition and the enhancement you did to the colors of the ground. The image as a whole does not have much impact on me, though. It may be that the overcast day just left it flat.

I think it's a really creative way to use the lines of the bridge, but the tipped water feels funny.

Comment by Melethia:
A very good choice of subject for the challenge I think you got some fair comments as to why voters might not have liked it as much as you did, too. That makes it a very good entry! You liked it, some didn't like it and they took the time to tell you why. To me, the centered thing kinda makes it static (well, duh! It's a fencepost! It ain't supposed to go anywhere... but you know what I mean.) Also, it does appear a bit oversharpened but that's very hard to avoid when resizing to fit the 640 pixel limit - no doubt this is not a problem at a fuller size.
