Greets from the Critique Club:

As social commentary this is a clever idea! However, as a photo it falls flat on its face. The title alone isn't enough to give it context, as was noted in the comments. What I would have like to see to make this photo really work would be this construction site with grass or trees in the background, something to establish your premise.

Now, as to the photo. There's nothing to draw the eye to and the lighting is pretty flat. This works for your intent and shows the generally bland color that accompanies construction sites, but it doesn't make for an attractive photo.

I'm actually not sure what else I can say about this photo... Sorry! Good luck in future challenges and I look forward to seeing more of your creativity at work.

Imaginative but perhaps too subtle for this category.

The old reliable 6x6 wwf. This is pretty colorless aside from the rust color. Didn't have epoxy coated, eh?

Lacking a story or context, this shot is struggling, for me anyway, to hold interest. There are lines to lead our eyes, but nothing at the end of them. Its also a bit dark, and might have benefitted from a wider angle or different perspective on the subject? Just a thought!

Yep it is rather devoid of color! Although rust is a color too, and you have several tones of brown here.

Did you take this picture at night using the on-camera flash? This picture doesn̢۪t do much for me. The lines and pattern are nice but not enough to hold my attention for very long. Color is nice but there isn̢۪t much here for me to comment on. The focus and exposure do look good. I can̢۪t find any major technical problems. I gave it a 5.

Colorless is a good description... the color is not really creating any impact for me in this shot.. subjectively, I would have attempted something much stronger here... - setzler
