Fits the theme. Somehow i just dont like looking at rusty machines, or spare parts.

Cool shapes in an intersting composition, my weakness. I'm giving it a 10 although I'd love to see a little more color in the sky.

The overexposed background is a bit distracting but it's an otherwise great photo.

Very interesting shot of the machinery. Did the background get blown out (over exposed) in the camera, or during post-processing? If it weren't quite so bright, this would have received those extra couple of points from me.

Interesting shot. The sky is a bit washed out.

I'm a sucker for anything that even smells of old-fashioned. Rust is a sure winner. I love this picture, and I love the way that it is framed, and I love the texture of it, and especially the coloring. Even a few little splotches of mold! Perfect. The "bowls" (I have no idea what this object is... some kind of dredging device, judging by the title) give a good sense of upward lift to the picture. I guess my only critiques are that the bowls seem too shadowed, and the grass to bleaches, especially in the lower portion of the photo. I know how difficult shooting in bright light, objects that are facing away from the sun is, so I won't dock you much for it, but perhaps that is an area where you could have really taken this challenge with ease. Otherwise, I still feel it is one of the strongest submissions in the field. Good job!

This is a cool photogrpah but the "ground up" concept isn't really pulling me in and 'speaking' to me.

Very nice, but I have a predisposition for old machinery.
