Very good on the feel of the metal. Perhaps your composition could be improved - it's oretty central, and has a lamp-post sticking out of it here, and to the left, behind it, there seems to be the ideal opportunity to combine a perspective up that street with a shot of teh sculpture, adding meaning to your title. All the basic technical stuff is solidly executed though - and its quite a subject.
It's an interesting sculpture and you captured it nicely. Perhaps, for the Challenge, it would have been even better if you could have zeroed in on some of the textural shapes. That way you might have eliminated the somewhat cluttered background. Still, a good job.

+ Interesting sculpture; it has texture indeed. Good use of B/W; I think if you had used colour the shapes and textures wouldn't be as visible as it now is.
- There are a number of distracting elements present like the lamppost and the sign to the right. The image is a little too dark.
