Nice find. I generally like the colors, but the white area on the left has the most contrasting elements and draws attention. The wide border combination overpowers your scene.

I'm drawn to this image because of the unusual colors. Good seeing! Your composition is well executed. It needs just one thing to really make it sparkle - perhaps some better lighting would have helped. Strong entry nevertheless.

Nice seeing - it does look like a map! Great colors. If your "continents" allowed it - it would be stronger if that large vertical line were not dead center. Still a great catch and a catchy title.

Aha - there is a way to say rust without chains, locks, or old farm equipment! An extra point for the innovative approach! The blue/yellows pop - composition works too. MAy be stronger with more in focus. Stop way down, use a tripod and try it again.

Composition very well done. All the lines seem to lead you right to the rusty nails. Good exposure, but the flat lighting was not your friend. It may really pop with better lighting. Still, a very strong entry. Keep it up.

The way you lead your viewer in from the bottom left works well. Unfortunately, the image has little impact on me - and it's difficult to tie it to rusted.

Nice way to use the rust as a frame into your image. Texture and colors on the rust is superb. I don't know what f-stop you used, but it may be more effective stopped way down on a tripod. Exposure on the background may be a bit hot. Overtall - a very nice entry.

Excellent example of rust for certain, placed in a nice diagonal composition. The background is strong - not grabbing attention from he main subject but still having some "things to look at."

What a nice find. That green door is precious and helps bring out the rust. Very nice composition as well. I do have 2 suggestions: 1) If possible, the white area on the flat plate above the door could be "folded up" so the bright white were not there. It is the brightest part of the image and attracts the eye. 2) The border is overpowering. Still one of the stronger entries - and I've scored all 447 - now to add comments to about 100 more......
