CRITIQUE CLUB!

i think the use of the bars and the shadows is a very effective way to meet this challenge. an image with such striking lines as this one would work well. however, there are a couple of things that might be better.

cropping the image so that the lower right corner might help, as that bit of wall (?) detracts from the patterns in the rest of the image. it would also be more effective if the shadows were only of the bars in the fence; the large shadow towards the top takes away from the rest of the shadow pattern. finally, the image itself is a little small. something like this with strong lines and good patterns deserves a larger canvas. plus, lots of voters tend to vote down images that don't meet the 640px maximum size in at least one direction.

good choice of topic, though. keep shooting!

The bars and the shadows make rectangles, which fulfills the challenge. But I wish I could see those rectangles more "clearly"... cleanly?

May be if it had a focal point... I mean, it has a good lighting, but the pic is just dull, it doesn't say a thing.

Be prepared to read comments about the pic being too small.

This is just a little to busy for me. Which shape is the subject? The repetition of the bars and lines may lend itself more to pattern challenge.

This is a great example of patterns, without the dominate shape
