Greetings Form the Critique Club!!!

Initial impact: I like it!!

Meeting the challenge: Yep no issues what so ever.

Color: Very nice I think this was a perfect photo for duo-tones. The mild sepia colr realy adds a lot the the character of this photo and sets an antique and emotional overlay to it all.

Focus: Just about perfect. I think you DOF was jsut a touch shallow. I would like to have had the entire pipe in focus. But your DOF falls short and the end of the pipe looses a little focus. Other than the end of the pipr the focus on this shot is wonderfull. Crisp and sharp details and outlines. The Shalow DOF nicely blurring ou the back ground. Very very nice.

Composition: I like the tilt of the photo even though it feely a little ackward. I don't however like the huge black "border?" on the top and bottom of the photo.

Contrast: Once again. Another very nice attribute of this phot. Great contrast. This photo utilizes the full spectrum of the scale. With black black, white whites, and a smooth and lovely variety of all the greys in between.

Overall: loos the border and I have only a very minor complaint about the DOF. Very imaginative and enjoyable photo.

Great job. I look forward to seeing more of this caliber worrk in future challenges.

Very interesting. It's got a cinematography look to it with the framing and DOF.
