That tree trunk on the left removes from the image appeal, but still it is a 7 from me with high hopes for a top 10% finish.

reflection is distracting. Polarizer might have alleviated that effect some.

For some reason, the green colour distracts me. I like this photo very much, but I'd love to see it in b/w after the challenge. Also, the top left corner could have been cropped out - it is also a destracting element that does not add to the photo.

technically well executed, nailed the challenge, but it just does not stand out as interesting subject. Nice collection of coins, though. 5.

Bell in the roses

Comment:
Aah, pity. You made a bad canvas resize mistake here. Everyone will comment on that, though. Now, for the remaining 90% of your photo:nice use of sepia, but as this challenge was about metal, I would not agree that sepia enhances the appearance of metal in this photo. The title indicates that it is a bell, hence metal, but without the title I would think of this as some sort of pottery work. 4.

Reflections are distracting. Not sure what you could have done to aviod them though. Nice photo otherwise.

Nice shot - however you flipped it vertically for some reason and it strongly affects the way I look at it. May not affect many other users
Also, looks to me like it was a tad oversharpened. Still, out of this world definitively. (6)

I love reflection shots. On this one, I would prefer not to have included that tree trunk on the left side. It steals attention and in my opinion adds no real value to the photo.
I'd also try increasing saturation on this one just a bit.

Congratulations to fellow Austinite! What a wonderful way to depict construction without cranes and the rest... this photo tells a story, and does not advertise construction equipment.

Congratulations on your Blue!
