These are two barrels that I found at a rodeo arena. I thought that the lines of the grand stand made nice leading lines to the barrels.

Did some minor color adjustments, contrast and noise reduction.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impression is that this meets the challenge and is a very good photo. I have to say that there might be too many lines. This is still a fine photo though. There isn't really much else for me to add. You took a good photo and met the challenge. Keep it up.

I like this a lot - although I'd like the barrels down and left a touch in the frame.

good idea, and lighting, but bring the cans closer in so we get a better view of the as the main subject... so far in the corner the lines hold more subject power than they should

Simple yet effective, I think this is what the challenge was looking for! Very nice job.

nice lighting that progressivlely darkens towards the top left, but leaves the TX barrels lit.

Nice exposure. The lines are pretty busy and there are many deadends.

Exept for a possible collision with these barrells, the lines lead you straight out of the picture. I kind of like it anyway. gives a sensation of speed somehow.

I like this. I find the composition very appealing, the lines running through at the angle you chose does this photo a lot of justice. Using those two drums and the negative space is the icing on the cake.

Great shjopt, very creative meets the ch allenge extremely well. Who would have thought trash cans would have made such an interesting photo. The only thing I might change is the grainy look to the bleachers, although my guess is a good deal of it is 'natural'. Good luck. 9

It is difficult to tell what the subject is here. I assume the barrels? The lines do not really draw my eye to them. Although the challenge is `lines`, they are used to draw the eye to the subject and not be the total emphasis of the shot. Interesting lighting use here. I like that! -Clicker-

Don't mess with texas :) the diagonal here is nice and the leading lines are ok.. the more dominant lines lead out of the frame... - setzler
