The depth of field doesn't work for me. The blurred tower in the background comes across as distracting from the otherwise sharp architecture.

Good idea for this challenge! Your arrangement of the two subjects splits the screen in half helping to make your point of the opposing forces going on: new/old, clean/dirty, sterile/overgrown, building/disintegrating... Greater depth of field would bring that tower into the picture just a bit more. And, perhaps, getting in closer (if possible) would better frame the tower shown through the window. Overall, a fine picture.

What a sad comintary on our times, that beautiful old building left to decay. hmph.Nice exposure. I think I would shift the composition a little so that the brick building was in 2/3 of the photo.7

This is a great idea and you could of pulled it off if the sky wasn't so grainy. I love the shadows on the brown building. I'm going to give it a six. Would of been higher only for the grain.

Feels like the image is off-balance with a lot going on in the left, yet a brown blob that catches my eye on the right due to its size. Needs some composition tweaks.

Interesting and unique take on the challenge. Definately rusted, and definately not boring. I think that you did a fine job of being creative here. I like the placement of the guy with the pressure washer. He is in the photo, yet out of the way enough to also let us focus on the rust too. Focus and clarity are good. Really nice detail on both the guy and the wall/fence thingy. I like the way the water mists like that. Lighting looks like it was on your side this day. Overall a nice photo of rust. ~Heather~
