change the angle of your camera. perhaps place the camera behind the clear pieces framing the king with a good sidelight off camera flash?

this is convoluted. you could almost make an argument for wishbones here. Those are desperate. Just need to boil down what you are trying to communicate

so far this is the only color photo I think works and is technically strong. Nice job.

This is perfect! I think I've only voted on B&W photos for this challenge. great tonality. It forces you to really look at your image to determine what's going on.

great compostion, but bad moire pattern. It doesn't hurt it as a photo but it is an image for presentation. Nice job. Where's this at? I'm a big fan of abandoned places.

nice composition. it begs the question, what happened here. it looks like you've got some glass reflection or something like that in your sky??? otherwise it's a pretty technically sound image. I suppose it could be a cloud but it looks fairly mechanical. I'm not sure what the rules are but I'd burn in the highlights there to give some more contrast in the sky if in fact that is a cloud. It could give you a nice added layer to the pic.
