This photograph is very busy. What are the silverish lines running down the upper left part of the image? It looks like a reflection of some sort and is very distracting. The blurry highlights on the right side of the image are also distracting. The lightest part of the image where the eye is drawn is not to the subject, but to the leaves in the background.

Well, this is definately interesting, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking at, or where the rust is. Are the things sticking out of the ball rusty? Or are the chains? What about the fence thingy behind the ball? I can see a lot of things that COULD be rusted, but not sure if I really see the actual rust or not. I like the DOF, and I think that the streaks add to the interest of the shot. Rain? The darkness is also nice. ~Heather~
I like the light and atmosphere. I am not sure that I see anything rusty, though with the water and the metal, there is potential for rust. It seems as though the picture attempts to say something. Whatever it is, the message eludes me.

What an exciting story you have told here. The colors work beautifully and the degree of sharp vs blur is perfect for the composition. Hope you didn't get your camera wet. You need it to take more images as good as this one! 10
