I feel the object you chose for metal was a good one - but there is too much other clutter that distracts from it.

Nice subject, but hard to distinguish it amongst all the other items.

while i like your concept on this one, there's a bit too much in your image to try to understand. it helps to simplify, when possible.

Fits challenge= 5
Color/lighting= 1
DOF/focus= -1
Wow factor/Attractiveness= 0
uniqueness= 0

Your DOF killed your image, the busy background could have been blurred a lot more to distinguish it from your real subject. (is that supposed to be the Star Wars Jar Jar Binx? lol)

Good luck

i really wanna like this more but the forground and background need separation. Contrast is needed and a little more sharpness. 6

Too much noice in background. The subject does not get attention. Shallow DOF and better contrast could have helped. Good attempt though.

Too much going on in the background. Interesting subject would like to see more of it.

too distracting

The subject is getting lost in the busy background.

An interesting metal object in a beautiful evening (?) light but the messy background confuses the feeling. Maybe a one-coloured sheet behind the object would make this pic great.

Interesting shot. It's very cluttered though. Cropping the stuff on the right out might have improved it, but it's a very busy background also. Not sure if a taking the shot from a different angle would have improved the background.

Wow, I really like the colors in this. Did you take this around sunset? Whatever you did, it's very nice.

ways too busy, don't really know what i am looking at.
I always think it is good to isolate your subject

It's a nifty doodad, but the photo is rather cluttered. There is no clear focus of interest.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i would have liked to see the object that looks like a "fish"? closer ... and just focused on that ... but that's just me :) - nice capture and colors
