Your focus and clarity here are amazing. I rally think that you show us detail here that is simply wonderful. The tiny imperfections in the metal show up wonderfully and really add a nice touch to this shot.
The angle and framing/cropping are interesting, and without the title, I wouldn't ever have begun to recognize this. I think it's good that you got the curved bars in front of some straight lines. This makes for an interesting composition, and gives us something to look at.
For me, an abstract feeling photo either needs lots of color, or lots of detail to really catch my eye. You succeed in catching my eye with the detail.
The lighting is good. Even though it seems like it's almost too bright on the left/upper sides of the curved bars, it's not. It stands out really nicely on the sky, and on the section where it lays over the back of the backboard. I like the brightness of this area of the bars.
Perfect use of black and white. I think this helps to enhance the detail.
Nice find.

| I cannot for the life of me figure out what this is. It's interesting in terms of a study of varying shades of grey, but not being sure what I'm looking at is... distracting, I think is the word I want. |

| I like the arches, don't know what to make of the rest, though. Great use of space. |

| I like the perspective you chose on the back side of the basketball goal... the strong lines work well here as a duotone... nice work :) = 9 |

| I'm wondering if the shot would have been more effective with just the bars, or just the background element. They don't seem to go together. I still like the tones of the photo. Good luck. Jacko. 6 |
