Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 800

I found this rope was just resting on a large fan. I don't really have anything impressive to say about it. But I think the picture is at least somewhat interesting in itself. Perhaps is will cause some onlookers to wonder what exactly the metal grate contraption actually is.

Some mild post enhancements including cropping, exposure, color, etc...

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I gave this a 6 in voting (and guessed a fan, hehe) and agree with what Jake says here, that the comp and oof bg help here, but not the oof loop closest to the camera. I also like the oof lower part of the rope. Your high ISO is bordering on noisy in the bg upper left/centre, and clearly you shot wide open. Keep in mind that most lenses work best at a couple of stops down from wide-open, so f.4 and up would have helped...and again, I see you shot handheld. Time to invest in a lightweight travel tripod!

Like the composition and the OOF background, but I find the front loop lack of focus distracting.
