This is the exact spirit of the challenge, IMO. But...there's too much of it. It might be better cropped down or re-shot to include just the one window, but off center, with only a few panels of high-detail rust surrounding it. A bit of telephoto, maybe.

Excellent colors and geometry. I think perspective correction is legal in advanced to have straightened up those line... Still very good.

Nice. I like the symmetrical crop. All the textures make for an interesting photo.

Great crop to fill the frame. Not a pretty photo though is it? But I really like the textures and colour.

Nice choice. I would like to see this with different lighting or processing. Maybe a curves adjustment might give it more contrast and bring out some texture and the browns. No vote just comments

Cool shot, different take on the challenge, I like it. I would prefer for the windows to all be equidistant from the edges; that is, there are no windows on the top edge but there are half windows on the bottom? I think that more symmetrical framing would enhance the pic.
