This was one of the hardest decisions I've ever had concerning a challenge entry... thus far, at least. I'm taking a chance with this, because I know there are going to be people who won't see the rust on the axe. I took some excellent rust shots, but felt they were lacking in style.
Editing: Hue/saturation, curves, sharpening, resizing, border. I don't remember doing anything else to it.

The colors are great. The picture is well lit and crisply in focus. The composition is a little forced and regimented. The picture looks like the framing/cropping at the bottom was arbitrary and the blooms to the left of the handle seem disconnected. I also see very little rust, but that is at the bottom of my rubric.
