The only suggestions I could make would be for greater sharpness (maybe greater depth of field or a sharply designated focus point on the arm?) and more contrast. But I am a contrast fiend, so don't mind me. I really like this image; the tones are lovely and I like the choice of subject. I'm always photographing chain-link fences myself, because I find them aesthetically pleasing. I wonder what that says about me. ;-)

First, I like the shot; there are good tones throughout and the B&W works well here. I agree that the center post should probably be vertical, but I also think a slightly wider DoF might strengthen it. You have an "in-focus" area going from just left of center top down toward the middle, where it starts to fade. Either placing this in-focus area in the upper left "thirds" zone, or making it run full vertical top to bottom might make this a little more natural and effective for me. I like the subject matter here, and the way it's presented, so nothing to add there; it has a nice, fluid feeling from the lines and the angle of the clasp.

This really appeals. Great choice for ordinary objects.

I really like how the gate isn't completely locked. A feeling of easy access, or the fear of the dog getting out of the yard. Along with this the overall treatment is one of soft gentle lines. There is a story here I feel. Very nice.

At first I thought the focus was a bit soft, but I think I like that it has a soft feeling since it's such a hard object processed in cool tones. It's an interesting balance for me.

dof rolloff is pleasant.... wide open nature of this lens is attractive.
The half round gate latch is a interesting addition to your circular theme.

I like it, nice DOF. i too would suggest what citymars said but it isn't overly distracting in this photo. Nice job.

Nice job, the only criticism I could see was already mentioned by citymars. Fun shot.

this is really well done ... fantastic processing ... very strong composition ... DOF is great ... makes me want to run home and try a similar shot!

I really love this one, but since you asked for criticism: vertical objects (tall buildings, pipes, etc) can be tricky. For example, in this photo I wonder if the center pipe should be the guiding vertical -- a small rotation to the left *might* be in order. Otherwise I love the grayscale and the dof. Good choice of ordinary object!

I don't see a lock on it! lol. She must have been bored, to give herself up 2 days early.
