There's too much of everything. Too much of gray and way too much colors (feels oversaturated), too much of flurry and hussle. It very hard to say what's the point of the image apart of "mechanical things attract others to the limit of chaos". Still, there's lot to see here, so even if my eyes would have liked to skip I maintained my position over this for a moment.

focus is quite soft.
subject matter - minimally appealing.

Very cluttered and everything I see requires electricity to operate.

All things must come to an end. It's a colorful garveyard though. Did you try picking just one thing out, like that fork lift on the left, and focusing just on it? I bet it would be interesting to see one device in more detail, with all the snow on it.

Just another pile of junk. Don't you think we have enough of these? Me too.

Good idea. With the snow especially, it gives a cold dead mechanical feel. However, I find my eye wandering looking for a strong focal point.

appealing in a sad, chaotic way. The strong central element seems oddly right. It doesn't seem sharp, and it needs to be.

Great idea, the snow here is a big distraction.
