The rust doesn't come through, I don't doubt it is there.

B&W, and the low angle of the shot, both work well on this

the sepia is nice, but I think you lose the rust .. it looks more dirty right now

I'm not sure what this is: A Volvo sports model maybe ??? Very broken down and sorry for itself. Your picture conveys this nicely.

Would have scored it higher if it hadn't been in B and W; as it is, the tone just camoflauges the rust. Colour would have worked better for this particular challenge.

I like the angle of the shot. the dark trees in the background hurt the balance of the composition, though,.

Nice perspective. Needs more detail in the shadows.

The somewhat darkness of the shot adds to the feeling of age.

I like that you show rust without the color of rust. The background does not detract as it locates the car in an area of abandonment. This gave me some ideas for some pictures of abandoned vehicles I know about. Thank you. Good light and textures.
