You showed the challenge theme well but it's not compelling enough and lacks the wow factor. DPC loves extremes whether it be an extreme close up or an extreme grunge effect. Focus on one aspect you think is most important and do everything you can (ex composition, lighting, dof) to enhance it. In this case you could really show off how each of the three weathered differently by going with a closer and tighter crop. Maybe even move the buoy, rope and chain around so that you can get all three in a more pleasing/dynamic arrangement. You had it right in the thread. Keep it simple.
