I have a feeling that the uncropped image totally changes the feel of this shot. I love the feel of it - can't put my finger on how to explain it technically, but I definitely enjoyed this image.

Oooh! Lots of different rusty bits on this one, and it's lovely. I like the slant and the placing of the sign in the photograph... excellent composition. The contrast of the darker building also adds something to it. Beautiful, one of my favourites! 10

Nice picture even with the old power line attachment. I like the colors. I just get a stiff neck looking up and prefer pictures where the photographer climbs to the level of the subject.
I absolutely love this, except for that washed-out piece of sky in the upper right hand corner--it pulls the eye away from what is a great scene. Giving it a 9--otherwise was a solid 10. Congrats!
