The depth of field and the crisp images in this shot are great. I also love the selective desaturation. Great motif of doors and windows. This is a nice change of pace from all the shiny metal in this challenge is is one of my favorites. Nice shot and processing. 10

By the fact that it's the only element in the picture that's in color, I take it that you meant the rusty hinge to be the focal point of the composition. If so, it's generally better to have the FP farther from the border of the image, lest too much of the image become dead space distracting from the focus.

Neat find but a little out of focus.

I admire this one for alternative thinking. I wish the back part of the hinge were lightened a stop or so.

Composition: 4, The hinge doesn't take command of this image, even with the desaturation.
Technical: 5, The single extra bright screw head just takes over. You need to subdue it.
Appeal: 4
Challenge: 7, The mechanical portion is not strong enough in this image.
Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

even though the image quality is poor, this is still one of my favorites in the challenge. hopefully, you'll get enough comments to learn from. the composition is nice, but the colors are a bit dull. the pixelation can be controlled a bit in the editing process, but it might be that you are asking a bit more from your camera that it is capable. all the same, nice find, and, if this doesn't score where you wanted it to, don't be discouraged. just keep on shooting!

Out of focus. Good composition though.... Fits the challenge but it is not appealing at all for me. Poor contrast and washed out colours Sorry 3
