 I was trying to recreate a shot I took almost a year ago, but couldn't get what I wanted. After wandering around for a while I found a wonderfully rusted post and took several shots of this 'smile'. To me it's got the feeling of a face being hidden in there - but I'm probably over reacting.

If i knew what this was, I'd feel better about giving you a 6... But still the judgement stands... It's well captured.

More light on the subject would have helped me to like this more. Keep trying!
