this looks more muddy than rusty, a bit more sarturation might have helped.

I like the way the shadows are cast over this rusting hulk. It convinces me that this must be resting just inside a wooded area, perhaps forgotten by some long ago contractor that was to busy with other things to remember where he left his 'toy'.

Nice shot.

A bit too dark for me, and the foreground of the tread seems out of focus.

If you say so. I would say its days as a caterpillar are certainly coming to an end.

Please enter picture of butterfly.

Actually quite a pleasing picture, one I enjoy viewing.

Nice, simple composition. I think the lighting could be more even and a bit brighter (could be tweaked in levels or curves), but a nice shot overall.

I think a little more saturation would be nice.

I love the concept and the title. The focus is a little off on the front of the track.

Nice idea, but I don't think the shot composition isn't the greates, nor is the lighting.

Like it, but a tad too dark. Hard to make out much detail.

This is very cool, I love the misteryous lightning, but I was the DOF was a little wider so the front of it could be sharp too, Good luck

great find but the lighting and shadowing distracting to me. I think that b&w may have been nice here.
