I love construction techniques in Asia (I'm guessing Asia having seen the use of bamboo for scaffolding over there). I'm actually impressed with bamboo scaffolding. Nice colors, nice shot.

Greetings from Critique Club

Technically, the shot is fine. It appears slightly overexposed in some areas, but I dont think that takes away from the image.

I agree with the comment about the stray thread. Because it is basic editing, you would not have been able to remove it in post processing, but it would have been nice to cut it off before shooting.

As for the subject, I find it a bit busy to be used as a stock image, and find that the chains seem to hang unnaturally from the box, as if it was posed, rather than left haphazardly hanging from the box. As one of the comments said, it lacks interest, and therefore doesnt inspire many high votes.

The lighting is close to perfect. Trim the stray thread, either in real life or Photoshop.

I think if you would have boosted the contrast, and/or taken the photo at a different time of day, this would have come out better. The photo seems very flat.

Well framed, well comoposed. It's simple but really captures the moment without any gimmicks. The lights look great.

Comment by Teafran:
From a technical standpoint, this is a terrific effort - crisp, sharp with everything detail well controlled and captured. From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. Sometimes an image, even one as technically competant as this one is, is just an image. A worthy entry into the challenge and directly related to the challenge subject. A good effort falling short in the artistic sense.

It's an good shot of a train, but maybe cropping it different would have help it. JMO!
