A detail of an old harrow that went out of service some 50 years ago.
Took this and a few more just in time before the sun moved another inch or so, ruining the light conditions.
Full frame, sharpened slightly.

I like the colors and the textures of that rusty piece of metal I can almost feel, you have used the rule of thirds well, I would like to see the metal more in focus, and the bottom part is a bit blown out, I think to soften your light source would eliminate the problem.
Excellent detailing and texture on the nut and bolt: a wonderful feel. Compositionally weak however, don't find any visual order in this presentation of shapes, and the left hand of the image seems unused, and not to add anything.
Beautiful closeup of the nut. Definitely get the feeling of texture that you were able to capture in this composition. The rust, dust, spider web can almost be felt by reaching out. The dark black background really helps to bring out the abstract shapes that you captured.
Only thing to add is maybe cropping out the bright highlight under the bolt and nut. "10"

+ I can almost feel the textures. The composition is interesting and you used the light in an excellent way.
- You should do a little more cleaning now and then ;).
Very nice macro shot, I especially like the way you captured the web/dust and rust on this nut. The rust really give me a feeling of rough texture. Nice Job. 8
Good seeing to get this rich texture. If it was mine, I'd probably try for a bit more definition on the upper metal work, but it isn't, it's yours and it looks good! 7
