A rusty grating isn't very special, but when a mother and her child are sleeping in the shadow next to it, on a lovely sunny day between thousands of people drinking beer and having fun on 'Queensday', then it becomes special. I admit, it's not the main subject anymore, but I was looking around for rust and saw this, so what to do?

very nice image, nicely shot and rendered in a very nice moody sepia like tone, but I really fail to see (and I hate having to say this) this image's relationship to the challenge.

Beautiful picture, but I don't feel / see / get the connection to the challenge.

A powerful image but in my opinion doesn't fit the challenge as it was meant to be of pictures of rust not a rusty sepia tone.

Not too much rust in the image, but seems like something out of Time Magazine. Despite not feeling like the challenge (just my interpretation) I think this is a very well composed shot.

I like the shot, but I have a hard time figuring out exactly how it fits in the rust category -- except maybe figuratively.
05/10/2004 05:31:25 PM
Fantastic photo. A bit heavy on the sepia. I would suggest a lighter tint. 9
05/10/2004 04:47:10 PM
cool shot but bit streched to fit this into rusted theme
05/10/2004 04:36:16 PM
Bravo! beautifull picture. I'm not sure if it fits the rusted challenge, depends on if you used a sepia filter or not i.m.o.
The colours are marvelous, well done!

I don't know how this follows the theme. It looks over posed from the clean box, child's unworn shoe and her clean white sweater.

I am looking for real rust for this challenge, sorry

very grungy, you'll get marked down for using a rusted colour instead of rust. But I like the rawness of it. 7

This is a very sad image. The sepia really adds to the feeling. It doesn't really work for "rusted" for me though.

Challenging photo, but don't see the rust connection.

Fairly compelling image but the rust element is pretty much non-evident.

I like the pose of mother and child. The exposed leg and smooth hands establish a younger age for the mother than the pose and condition of life.

I find the left half of the picture quite uninteresting. As I find the right side worthy of a 9 or 10, I am giving the overall picture a 5.
05/08/2004 10:16:29 AM
Inspire many feelings, very good=8
05/07/2004 02:00:08 PM
Not sure it meets 'rust' challenge when the real subject/theme is something so very different. I know what you are going for but it looks too clean and (I maybe completely wrong, but that's the the way it looks) too set-up.
05/07/2004 01:16:17 PM
Absolutely love it.
05/07/2004 12:59:22 PM
very nice. compelling, it makes me want to know the story.
05/07/2004 11:17:20 AM
I don't feel that this photo is sincere. It feels like it was set up. The sepia is a nice tone.
05/07/2004 01:27:47 AM
excellent
05/06/2004 10:08:16 PM
Very nice. I like your unique interpretation on the challenge title.
05/06/2004 04:52:31 PM
Nice low key and emotional shot
05/06/2004 04:06:38 PM
nice picture, but does not meet the challenge IMHO
05/06/2004 08:04:24 AM
impressive! good tones ....
05/05/2004 04:14:19 PM
This is a poignant image and a beautiful composition. There is a bit too much of the reddish cast. I don't see the rust unless I make a stretch and guess it is staining the concrete wall.
05/05/2004 12:09:19 PM
You knew you were going to get these comments when you did this photo, but I don't think it meets the challenge.
05/05/2004 07:40:43 AM
wanted to rate it higher but i'm wondering where is the rust and how are you equating rust to rest...nice comp though
