I really like this photo. The composition is very nice and it does well in B/W.

To me, a still life is arranged by the artist, not found in nature.

My eye does not know whether to look at the spider web or the iron work.

This does not meet the challenge - inanimate but not an arranged composition of objects. Nice picture...

This is beautifully done. Great composition...the metal balances the web nicely (plus is just a very cool web).

I know you probably have a bunch of dnmc comments - but this shot rocks anyways. Great capture. (I voted earlier so you wont see a change if you are watching)

This is interesting but to me does not make a still life. I love the clarity and the contrast, but a true still life is a collection of items grouped by the artist, whereas this is something found in nature and you had nothing to do with its placement. If it were just an image to rate on it's own, I'd probaby give it a 7, but not meeting challenge, hurts it for me. I hope you find this helpful. ;~D
