Funny.

Great unique perspective. Could use a bit of contrast though.

Interesting POV, I hope you had your hard hat on.

It's definately centered, but it's not very interesting. The background seems speckeled, like noise or something. looks like this was taken with a point and shoot camera, which I can sympathize with. The focus seems a bit soft, but could be a lighting issue. The sky seems very dull as well. Wish there could have been some blue there, or some clouds. ~Heather~

Great idea I think it would give more of an impact without the tree

This is a very cool shot. One does get the feeling that heavy thing could fall at any moment, so we have to keep watching the center. The only real thing that I could see hurting your score is the distracting tree in the lower left. I'm kind of ify with the amount of noise in the picture, there seems to be quite a bit but I have issues shooting into an overcast sky too. I may have cloned out the tree and used the remove dust filter (I use digital image pro - don't know what PS has for this) to clean it up a bit. Great Idea, very good picture.

Ouch! Unique take on the challenge - original. It shouts for a blue sky to help bring out the redish colors of the wrecking ball.

Background is too grainy, IMO. Ball doesn't seems exactly dead center. I like the tree in the lower left corner. Adds good perspective.

Exceptionally sparse composition, though i think you could have afforded to brighten the whole thing to a greater extent: your sky is only mid-grey, and absolutely featureless - might have had more impact if you had taken this closer to a silhouettte. Perhaps what will most let your score down is that this is not really an image suited to a centred composition, you've just cropped it that way. 3

cool angle. but the shot doesnt generate enough interest.

It meets the challenge, but has no real interest for me. The tree distracts. If the tree were removed, and the colors brightened/contrasted up a bit more, I think it might have more interest.

colors are kind of washed out.

Very centered, but a bit on the dull side with the sky being all gray. Did you try other angles too, to bring in more/other subjects but with the headache sitll in center?

Yikes, stunning subject (no pun intended). Definately a photo that grabbed my attention. The rust and other details in the ball look way oversharpened, though.
