Windflowers and rust

I think there are some beautiful colors in that wheel but imho you may have cropped it a bit and focused much more closely in on it and decreased the amount of greenery.

I'm really lost here to understand this pic. I think theres a bicycle down there but I could easily be mistaken. imho you could've focused more closely on a specific part of this hidden object

So Perfectly Rusted...

i guess maybe i need to keep a more open mind but i was looking for iron oxidation :) imho you could have contrasted the leaf more with green material or the blue sky to really bring out the color contrast. After relooking at your pic i'll have have to rescore it higher since you helped me reevaluate my idea of this challenge

Natalie's Rusty Playland

imho the shot may have be much more dramatic had you closed in on natalie and the rusty parts of the playland more

Out of order

Comment:
there were probably some great shots closer in but the combination of being so far away from the objects and the small photo sizek I couldn't make out much detail.

Comment:
great contrasting colors and perfectly matched to show the combining of organic and inorganic. My only thought on composition is that it may have looked better with asymetrical balance (leaf more in a corner or slightly crop the leaf in a corner to allow more magnification)

Abandoned Padlock

Comment:
one of the top three in my opinion, clean design but the contrasting colors is what truely drew me in. I looked for reasoning behind shots not just a pretty rusty object and in this one i rationalized that the lock dealt with the certainity and inability to change the course of deterioration.

why so small? maybe if it were larger and lower angle could've been really good. i also like the tilt on it

Miles To Go Before I Sleep

like the composition, but I'd like to see more of the vehicle and sort of know if it can go those miles :)
