Critique Club Review:

Focus is good. Depth of field is either too shallow to give good detal on the back of the truss, or too deep to soften it so that it doesn't compete. Depends on which look you were going for.

With the low ASA number, you must have oversharpend the image, because the result is a lot of grain.

Contrast looks a bit low, the image seems a bit washed out. As if under exposed and then lightened to make it look right.

Although the foreground connector is supposed to be the subject, the eye keeps going to the one in the background due to the lines of the geometry. I would suggest playing with the angle of the shot, and the rotation of the object to get the feel you want.

Overall an interesting photo with a lot of potential.

Nice composition, bit noisy.

Fits the challenge but it is very grainy and noisy. A lower ISO with brighter lighting should get rid of that.

Would be nicer if it was more focused.
