This image definately meets the challenge, but I think the use of the flash at night really hurts this image. Also, it doesn't use the rule of thirds, which (while it's not a hard, fast rule - there are definately times it should be broken) might have helped the composition here.

This could have some potential but I think the harsh flash kind of killed the mood of the scene.

harsh direct flash is the obvious lighting here and it looks like a quickie snapshot. at least IMO it meets the challenge!

Yes, it meets the challenge, but not much image appeal IMO. Depending on the background, maybe you could have a shot the fence silhouetted against the sky as the sun was rising or setting?

For such a stark image, the subject is very subtle. I had to look a couple times before I realized what my perspective was. I find myself trying hard to like this, but my eye keeps wandering off the right side of the picture into that big expanse of darkness. Technically quite well done, though.

Good concept. Lighting seems a little harsh but I suspect that's just what lighting was at the gate? Perhaps more of a close-u on the lock? 6

Have seen a few with this theme in the challenge so far. Yours is better than some, not quite as sharp as one other. In this case I think it's the lighting and overall composition. Sorry for the comparison. Don't usually do that... The light source is creating some glare from the lock which is distracting (lock/chain is the main subject here). Perhaps the composition could be a little tighter? All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

nice, but flash effect does not help this. if the light had been coming from the left, cross light...bingo! but there is an annoying flash glare on the fence...just MY opinion!

game venue or prison? What is there to suggest that a game has just been played?
