Taken on a warm sunny day, with the sun behind me, using an f11 at 500, with a hand held camera, to give a good depth of field, and minimise hand shake, I have done no edditing exept resizing, and rotating.

My 2nd challenge is my second highest rated photo, and my third challenge is my third highest rated photo, so I guess I would have to go with my first ever challenge, which scored 6%. Judging will not be as strait forward, as the subjects will all be different, so I would suggest the original challenge title should be included in the title, may be the date as well, re-shooting the same scene, could be difficult for some, even impossible, taken on holiday for instance, or a building that has since been demolished, is there a way round this, in my case the first challenge, scored low, because of the chosen subject, I would still give it a go though, try and get it from a different angle, be fun I think.
A sharp and well exposed image with good colours. I find it a rather cluttered composition however. It doesn’t have any focal point and although the far side of the lock acts as a leading line it is somewhat lost in the clutter and doesn’t lead my eye to anything particularly interesting. The technical side is good you just need to work on the composition :-)
The composition puts the cranes as the focus in the picture - and I just don't find them that interesting here. The white bar on the right is distracting too. Could you have gotten further out onto the locks- maybe with a boat in the picture? I just think you could have done better.
I think this could be an interesting subject for a photo, but as it is composed, I dont find it all that interesting. Perhaps there is nothing specific to direct the viewers attention to.
