Okay...this is a good try...but the composition doesnt do the image justice and the flash is a little harsh. If this is taken at night try recomposing using a tripod...either up close or maybe at a really low angle....try looking at it from a new perspective. Then using no flash...just long shutter this would actually come up quite a treat. I hope that helps you.

Love the contrast with yellow and the background. Not sure if the obvious focal point of the flash works but I still like the pic

I like the way the hydrant is lit up against the dark background. I find the subject a little boring though, a problem I often have with my own photos. 6

Would have chosen no detail in background or more detail.

i find something strangely compelling about this photo, even though i don't technically think it's great.
