A rusty grating isn't very special, but when a mother and her child are sleeping in the shadow next to it, on a lovely sunny day between thousands of people drinking beer and having fun on 'Queensday', then it becomes special. I admit, it's not the main subject anymore, but I was looking around for rust and saw this, so what to do?

very nice image, nicely shot and rendered in a very nice moody sepia like tone, but I really fail to see (and I hate having to say this) this image's relationship to the challenge.
Not too much rust in the image, but seems like something out of Time Magazine. Despite not feeling like the challenge (just my interpretation) I think this is a very well composed shot.
Bravo! beautifull picture. I'm not sure if it fits the rusted challenge, depends on if you used a sepia filter or not i.m.o.
The colours are marvelous, well done!

Fairly compelling image but the rust element is pretty much non-evident.
Not sure it meets 'rust' challenge when the real subject/theme is something so very different. I know what you are going for but it looks too clean and (I maybe completely wrong, but that's the the way it looks) too set-up.
This is a poignant image and a beautiful composition. There is a bit too much of the reddish cast. I don't see the rust unless I make a stretch and guess it is staining the concrete wall.
