*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An appealing image that meets the challenge.
A scene of decay and intrusion of mans ingenious devices to invade the dominion of nature will always ultimately be overcome by nature's ability to fight back as reflected in your title and comments, or at least we should hope it can. Your scene captures that sentiment well, a good find. I like the way the old machinery is forming a sort of static equivalent of a hanging basket for the vegetation.
Your composition is good with the machine dominating the foreground but I find all the colours just a little too saturated. The exposure is a little on the dark side but then that sort of fits the mood that you are trying to convey here. The detail is good throughout except for the black area on the right but that sort of adds to the mood.
Apologies for the delayed critique, better late than never, Sid |
