Farms Rust to Dust

Now this is one nice early spring picture. My only suggestion is to look at this with a right edge cropping at the base of the furthest tree on the right. Great job.

rusted wheel

The challenge is well met in choice of subject. It is an interesting composition of rusted objects. Aesthetically I like it far better when I crop off the Chain link fence.

The lighting is very subdued on such a dark subject, and with repetitive objects it is hard to establish a point of foucus. Overall this is a very soft picture of some very hard wheels. The colors themselves are also dull as rust is said to be. However, a study of other photos in this challenge, show that rust can exhibit some very lively and attractive colors.

This has some rust in good focus. I do not find the subject itself very compelling, and the choices in camera angle, lighting, and exposure unfortunately do not compensate for me.

The green, reds, and blues in the rocks at the bottom combine with a gorgeous shot of the wheel itself to deliver a great photo. This one is really fun to study.

An awesomely powerful image. This belongs in the top ten percent, but is really in a class by itself in this challenge. Nothing I have seen has struck me so powerfully.

Congratulations.

Very nice photo. The background is diffused to just the right degree. As rust is so dark, I would favor even more exposure to light.

Rusty shadow

Comment:
I very much like this idea. The colors in both light and shade work well and the focus is perfect as rust makes itself hard to place in focus being so dust like.

I just kind of wish the model was holding camera to eye. The shadow would have a little more of a story to tell.

NIce illustration of rust and the rusting process. I tend to rate photos on their artistic appeal to me rather than their illustrative appeal.

Thus, a 4.

Lust

A lusty picture indeed. I would like a little less light exposure. The vibrance of the colors might even show up more.
