Closeup of an old, rusty fire extinguisher that had exploded outwards. Actually taken on an outing for the Rusted challenge, but one has to take one's opportunities...

Rotated, cropped, sharpened, fiddled with levels and then quickly cloned out a waterline (partly because a waterline at 40 degrees off horizontal just looks silly!)

Hello from the critique club.

Lighting and clarity of this shot is fine, but for some reason I just don't find it very appealing.

I've even been holding up papers, trying to view various crops of the image, and just can't find one that I really like. I don't really dislike the photo, as much as it just doesn't hold my interest.

I think for the abstracts challenge the lines, colors, and/or shapes have to be appealing enough to draw interest and bring the eye to the design of the photo. To me the color here is uninteresting and the shapes and lines don't draw me in. Of course, what one sees in an abstract is very subjective, so you and others may very well like the photo a lot.

I hope you find this helpful.

Judy
