Greetings from the Critique Club!
IT'S A FISH! That was my first reaction when this shot came up, the nut being his eye and the rust pocket next to it his mouth, LOL!
This is an interesting shot overall, it makes me want to stop and look, trying to figure out what you are trying to say. But the dull colors of the black overwhelm the shot in the end and it makes me rather sad, not sure why though. Maybe because I keep seeing the fish and he's not smiling, I just can't quite put my finger on it.
I tried using my magic envelopes and tried different cropping angles but that didn't work either. Maybe if the contrast was bumped up just a tad to really make the rust colors pop out and the black really deep. Capturing the fly in the shot was just luck, the fish is getting ready to eat! I'm sorry but I just can't get that image out of my head now! ;)
Not sure how helpful this was but if you do make any changes to the shot, please let me know. Thanks! ;)
Good Luck In Future Challenges!

| Well focused and great color. The fly is an interesting touch. This might have done very well in the rust challenge. |

| I think this might have looked more abstract without the fly. I like the fly in this photo (although it could be a bit more obvious. I think if you upped the contrast and fiddled with the hue/saturation levels, you would have a stronger design. Also, the bit of negative space along the right edge gives too much sense of depth and doesn't really add to the overall design. I don't see enough of a contast between the negative space created by the black and the shapes created by the rusty splotches. |

| The border hurts the image here, I'm afraid. |

| Good composition. Should do well in the Rust challenge. Not bad as an abstract as well. |
