My first impression is that this is an attractive shot, the combination of the rusted hole with the texture of the wheels is really nice. Framing the image with the hole in the middle seems appropriate here, although the dark area to the left is a bit distracting. Tighter cropping probably would work better. The shallow depth of focus works well for me, having the hole out of focus leads the eye into the picture. Colors and lighting are very nice, the small spot of grass adds just the right amount of 'non-rust' color.

Creative take of a nice find for the challenge!

A great capture - I like the arrangement of the wheels and the textures and your choice of framing it through the hole.

Great eye. this is art. the blob on the left is a little distracting.

Nice shot - could even be cropped closer to the circle, to cut out the black blob on the left. 7

I like the framing of the opening and the variety and positioning of the rusting wheels. Nice focus and depth of field.

I would have preferred a point of view to the right and above that of the current camera position. There is something in the background here that is distracting. I also would have liked less negative space and tighter cropping almost to the edge of the window.
A 5.

Not sure it's really necessary to include "unedited" in the title...

I really like this photo, it has interest in it...I like the perspective. I think that overall I might have enjoyed a closer image of the hole less of the surrounding edge. But I love the repetition.

Tighter crop on the hole getting rid of the black spot on the left would definitely improve the potential of this photo.

A great "rusted" point of view. I give you a 9.

Really neat shot - might be cropped a bit closer.

This is a good and original take on the Challenge. Love the way you framed the wheels. Wonder what the composition would have looked like if you had made the framing material sharp as well... Doesn't matter, what you have is pretty darn good!

Need more dof to bring the hole somewhat more in focus

Cool idea with the pic in a pic!

I think a slightly tighter crop would have helped this image. The out of focus foreground is a bit distracting from the background wheel arrangement. The hole you made use of did a great crop on the background wheels though - definitely a creative image!
