Greetings from the Critique Club...
You've closed in on the subject and that has created an abstract quality to the shot but I don't think you brought out as much of the rust detail as you may have wanted. I'd agree with the commenters that talked about adjusting the light for different effects (e.g. shadows gives a sense of curves but that area loses detail so perhaps more light would have lost the curve but gained you the rust). The shot could be either more abstract or have a focal point that's given special treatment to make it stand out in some way. This may have helped in getting a more interesting shot.
I think the red/copper rust area in the top left is much more interesting that the greenish rust stuff at the lower left. This could be because the green area seems over exposed and it lost much of the texture. Moving the light source around at different angles often enhances the details in different areas. I know I'd like to see more of the red stuff -- as your comments say there is incredible detail there.
I hope my comments were clear and at least a bit helpful. Send me a pm if you have any questions on my comments.
Regards,
Theresa

Very pretty study. I would like to see just a little more light cast into upper right corner, it appears that it is lying in the shadow of another object.

| The image has a nice abstract quality, with some subtle textural contrast. |

| This is a pleasant abstract of "rust" and you have photographed it well. Good luck in the challenge. |

| You didn't follow the 2nd part of the challenge - "and then look for ways to compose an interesting picture around it". |
