The framing and light/shadow line crossing the doughnut shaped end piece bother me as does the very low depth of field. The background is lost completely and it appears as if it might have helped if large circles of confusion had been left to add interest.

A 4 based on the above and overall appeal.

Rust Away
by Mobius

Comment:
A very interesting curve. Lighting is very good. The worn wood makes a lovely half frame and the leaves harmonize well with the wall and supply needed color. I would have preferred that a little more be cropped from the right hand side and either more of most likely less from the top.

The colors and composition are very pleasing. I regret this is such a small image.

Clipper Ships
by GeneralE

Comment:
There is a lot to like here. The expanse of the grate creates the illusion of open sea as does the remarkable texture and colors of the material beneath. I wish there were more focus on the nearest part of the iron and that the paper clips were replaced with others that had more the appearance of a ship at sea.

I like the composition, framing, cropping. Many of the colors of metal and rust are pleasing though some are not. Reducing the exposure could have helped provide detail in some of the bright areas, but I think actually a shot later in the day would help the most with the overall glare that is present.

A 5 for the composition and choice of subject.

The end of the line

A very lovely location. Very good photographic quality.Composition leaves a lot to be desired. The most forceful lines in the photo, the reflected inverted v at the bottom of the picture as well as the perspective of the rusted float drive the eye into a fallen log that leads the eye right off the right side of the picture as does the horizon of the trees right above. It is very hard to keep one's gaze on the rusted float.

Hard Rock Miner
by Tressider

Comment:
To be more artful, I believe greater selection of what to include and what to exclude must be taken into consideration. The lighting on the face of the miner also unhighlights the key element here. I like the buildings and mountains in the background. All I can really suggest is to take this from a lower point of view and frame out the left, bottom, and right edges.

An Old Twin Lens

Comment:
This is just one of those things which rust unattractively. The photo may be a tad overexposed, but I don't know that there would be anyway of making this subject appealing. Wonderful historic piece though.

Nicely lit and cropped.

An 8, simply because of limited complexity and shadowed right eye.
