I love the high contrast. Unfortunately the photo is a bit too small.

Interlaced

Very creative and unique. A good black&white, the lighting and contrast is great. Only a little bit overexposured on the lace in the middle. I like the texture contrast of the blank metal vs. the rough lace. 9

I like this abstract. I think it fits into the challenge very well, although the photo itself is not symmetrical. Unfortunately the photo is a bit small. Anyway, good composition and a nice lighting. 8

Natural Symmetry

I like the fuzzy focus on the flower. The background should be even more blurred, it's a bit distracting because of the brown/green contrast.

I think the photo suffers from being a bit too small. Otherwise (as far as I can see) a good photo. Perfect composition.

Rust and Sky

Comment:
I think a plain blue sky without the clouds would look better and enhance the abstract look of the photo. Also it seems that it's not perfectly symmetric, a step to the right could have helped. Otherwise a good photo.

I admit that I don't understand how it relates to the challenge theme, too. But I think it's better than the score you got. It looks like an oil painting to me and I like that effect.

Sad to see that this photo scored so low. I like it.

Thank you for your comments. Yes, the "painted" look and the dark/eerie theme was what I was aiming for. Like a poster for a horror movie. I'm glad that many of you liked that. I increased the contrast quite a bit and sharpened it in post processing.

ChrisW123: Originally it was titled to the left and I rotated it. I had a version where the lines on top of the frame were perfectly straight, but somehow it appeared to me that the image was still "toppling" to the left. I think it's because of the balance of the image and the way the stairs go up. So I rotated it one degree more to the right and it looked much better to me.

StevePax and Rgold: The person was intended. I can't see why it would be distracting? From what? I mean the person really is the point of interest.

KAOS: Thanks :)
