This would have done better in the Pattern challenge but on a Free Study wherein there are lots of good ones, it's hard for this image to stand out. I am giving this a 5.
My apologies in advance if you will find that low. =(
I'm guessing this is a playground. You managed to give it an ominous, industrial kind of feel. Pretty cool. I wish the first ring was in sharper focus.
