Like this a lot as an abstract, but it suffers from a parallax effect. Wish the lines on the sides were absolutely vertical. 6

Net symmetry / pattern in this, and the yellow is refreshing given how much red rust we've all looked at in these ratings!

A very nice variation on theme, nice lighting, and good focus. The overall image is not particularly appealing although the study of variations within it is.

A 6.

Nice pattern shot - and the color might suggest rust, but it's not what I think of as rust color. Pattern shots work a lot better when there's a single element that doesn't belong (say, a black square).

indefinetaly interesting .. but i failed to see the rust theme in this.. perhaps you were trying to tgo with the color scheme of a rusted object but it dont quite match i think.. i think it is a 7 image.. but because of not fitting the challenge i think i am gonna give it 5.. dont be mad :)

I can't really say why, but I really LOVE this picture. I guess it has to do with the seemingly endless repeating pattern, the vibrant colors (was it this color in real life or did you do any adjustments?), and how it fades to black quite quickly.

The lighting on this is superb. I love the simplicity of the composition. It borders on abstraction just enough to keep me interested, but not so interested that I'm searching for a "subject". The dark squares in the upper right seem to cascade into lightness in the lower right, which draws my around the frame nicely. Great work.

Wow, great idea. Usually those steel grids are so boring, but the slight misalingment of the grids and the wonderful warm color makes this a great photo. I also like it how it goes from deep dark shadows in the top right corner to detailed & light in the lower left.

Abstract/Rust Very good entry. Hope you do well.

Nice, you could have composed it so that the sensor plane was exactly parallel to the subject, this would have give you a perfectly square shot.
