Could be improved with less noise and the whole tube being in focus. Good effort though - I suppose you could just be focussing on the texture of the rust.

There's a lot of noise here. Did you add noise? You also have only a tiny portion of the photo in focus. Was that intentional? If not you should use a higher f stop next time.
I like the perspective, the rust color against the steel, lighting is good too.
It looks like the "tip" is out of focus. A bit more DOF would have captured it. It's a bit grainy, maybe a bit lower ISO. The texture from the rust blends in with the white background. A nice smooth background would have given you a good contrast and really made the rust, "Pop" out.
I think I would like this better if the rectangular tube was at some other angle to the edges. I like that it is at an angle to the surface it is resting on.
The square pipe is interesting but the whole composition doesn't seem to say much. Focus/depth of field could be more refined. The image is very grainy--even the plain background!
