It looks a bit washed out, but perhaps that was what you were aiming for as it seems to ahve some good contrasts between all the rusted pieces.

The highlights on the left of the image look overexposed and pull attention away from the subject. I also get an impression of oversaturation on the colors, but that may be due to the brightness/contrast settings.

Quite a bit overexposed, and needs additional subject matter in composition.

The contrast might be a bit much. This effect may have been what you were after, but the blown-out upper left corner really detracts from the overall image. Otherwise, the texture and composition are quite nice.

Besides being overexposed, the colors are over saturated. The compositon and subject matter look like this had the elements of a very interesting picture.

A 3.

the highlights are too blown out for my tastes, but otherwise pretty good.

The red seems a little too saturated.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Way to red and the white spots are a bit overexposed. Great subject though.

Nice lock there but the picture is very overexposured
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Would have been better with less contrasty light
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I would've liked it better with a tad less contrast (I think) the hot spots are pretty dominant, I like the topic and texture - 7

Love the vibrant and contrasty color. It really complements the rust.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is an attractive study but it appears over-saturated and over-sharpened. Also, the burnt out highlights on the left are distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Way too high key for me. The strong contrast emphasizes the hot spots in the left corners and on the lock.

overexposed (on purpose?), but that's why I like it so much.. makes the rusty colors really stand out... 9

The bright reflections are somewhat too harsh...
