This is below an old wooden train bridge. The "plant" in lower right is distracting as is the entire right hand side post....crop looked worse. Shot just to enter something...only location shot, liked the angles. Kind of boring.

I like this shot. For myself, its not boring. I like the patterns, lines, and angles. I rather like these "abstract" type shots.

It's interesting reading the comments on all of these submissions. I started from the last place finisher and now I'm up to yours; what one viewer sees as a negative, another viewer sees as a positive. For what its worth, I like this photo and actually gave it a 7; then again it suits my personal tastes. (And I thought the technical aspects were fine.)

Have a good day.

I like the repetition here, but it lacks that 'wow' factor.

I am not sure so please do not hold me to this...but I thought we were supposed to convert to B&W then add tone/color back in splitting it with 2 colors thus creating a duotone??? To me your shot is pure B&W no other tones (or at least I don't see them) This is such a wonderful shot too...excellent editing and focus...well done
