Aah, pity. You made a bad canvas resize mistake here. Everyone will comment on that, though. Now, for the remaining 90% of your photo:nice use of sepia, but as this challenge was about metal, I would not agree that sepia enhances the appearance of metal in this photo. The title indicates that it is a bell, hence metal, but without the title I would think of this as some sort of pottery work. 4.
Not sure what the white on the left is for. I like the DOF, POV. Detail, focus, clarity well done. Haven't decided on the crop /composition yet. Not sure if I would like it better on the right or not as the rope cuts the image in half.
With the sepia tone, this really doesn't look as much like metal as it should. It could be terra cotta. The rope has very good detail, however, and because it is better focused it appears to be the main subject.
i am not going to mark this down for the border mistake or whatever, but it is distracting
good DOF and excellent tonal range (and I don't mean the "tone!"- but I like that too!)
