Greetings from the Critique Club...

This photo definitely fits the challenge. The door plates have an excellent 'vintage' quality about them in their state of decay and disrepair. The mood and textures are excellent as well. 5.47 is not a 'bad' score for this photo but I'm sure a higher score would have been more interesting for you. As I browse your comments, as brief as they may be, one does stand out for me. The one that mentions getting closer would be my primary goal in this setting as well. One of my personal goals in photography is to examine the parts of the whole that create the interest in any given scene rather than the entire scene itself if that makes sense. The detail in this image that creates interest for me is on the left side where the one plate is cocked diagonally between the other two upright plates. That little bit of off-center imbalance strikes me as the most interesting part of this scene. Maybe focusing on that area a little more closely would create a more dynamic view :)

Good luck in the future...

This is excellent. Hope you didn't have to play with the colors too much. Maybe frame it better, get in there closer.
