Rustic Relicby
TerComment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: Nice refereshing take on a popular theme in this challenge, the broken-down car.
Technical: Definitely looks good in b/w, the tones are subtle and lots of gradiation. I am a huge fan of ambient light and handheld shooting, which seems to be the case here. If the wire fence has wide enough gaps, can get the lens in between the strands and shoot. ISO seems a bit high, may have been better to go down a bit and shoot at a faster shutter speed. If you had a tripod with you, could close it way down and shoot with a slow shutter.
Artistic: Not terribly keen on the tree, that light-coloured branch tends to draw the eye. Seeing that it was an Advanced challenge, you could have photoshopped it out or darkened it a bit. However, that in its turn may draw attention to the branch, so a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
Overall: A very visually pleasing shot, but that branch does interfere a bit.
Feel free to pm me with any questions,
