This seems a bit over-sharpened. Also, the lighting is very flat. (have you been using a flash outdoors again?) The composition is good, but the other considerations keep it from being a winner.
Interesting rusted gate. The cropping could be improved--the right hand third of the photo conveys little of interest to me. I understand the point of view was probably chosen to eliminate a distracting background but perhaps it also needs a more limited depth of field. A little oversharped?
