Rain Hath Come

It appears that you did not straighten this picture before cropping it. I am puzzled as to why. The picture also appears underexposed and dim. I like rustic scenes, barns, and the rural life. Unfortunately, this picture does not capture one of its more picturesque moments.

Rusted and Bonded

Subject unlit, background overlit. Also, I have no idea what I am looking at or why.

Sharp

Comment:
This picture seems a little dim. I do like the markings on the nails and somewhat the haphazard arrangement, especially as one point stands out backed by three very visible heads and a couple less visible. I find it a more powerful and compelling picture though when I crop it on both right and left.

Rusty Sprocket

Comment:
The lighting, point of view and composition somehow flattens space. The colors also do not work for me.

Rusty nail by the sea...

Comment:
This shot appears to be composed about the island not about the rusted nail.

Circles of Rust
by trying2bstill

Comment:
Nicely lit, interesting subject. The choice of framing / cropping though seems very arbitrary. I would have liked to have seen all of largest pipe end. The photo is about circles and the biggest one is twice flattened at top and right side.

Rusted Rail to the Sea

Comment:
Lighting and rail draw the eye a rather uninteresting bay. This just does not work for me.

The colors of rust and sky go together well. Crop off the bottom just below the pipe and the right before you run completely out of fence and this is a highly attractive and powerful foto. As it stands, the uninteresting overpowers the interesting. A 4.

Inertia
by moodville

Comment:
A very interesting point of view and relatively interesting subject matter. The composition of this picture is disturbing in a good sense. If the rating were on composition alone, I would give this a 10. I long for better focus throughout and more light from the side we are seeing. A 6 overall.

W e b e rusted

Comment:
oh, for just enough more at the top to complete the arc. This photo is about circles and curves. I love the cropping at the lower left that includes the edge. A little less glare at bottom center and off the edges of the e and r would not hurt but lighting focus color expecially on the rust in the hole in the b are excellent as is the deep black contrast in the holes.
