can barely tell what this is, let alone tell if it's rusty. I think I can see a wheel near the top of the photo that is a bit orange, assuming that's the rust. I wonder what this would have turned out like if you had focussed on that one wheel. Maybe be a stronger match for the challenge. Maybe wouldn't be able to tell what it was, but we can barely do that now. I would definatley prefer a tighter close up of that wheel. otherwise, focus and clarity are alright, and lighting seems to have been on your side as well. ~Heather~

I just don't get it. Is that a bike under the grass and weeds? Perhaps so, but hard to say. In any event, this picture isn't conveying RUST to me ... it's conveying grass and/or weeds. 2

If I wern't looking for rust I would not be able to pick it out from the rest of the image. It needs to be more prominant for me.

Please try to show us some rust ... I now that this bike is rusted but you are suposed to take picture of the rust, not the gras.

While this is a nice capture of grasses at various stages of life, I do not see how it responds to the challenge.

very hard to see your subject. focus seems off. can't tell if it is rusted or not..

Rust must be searched for in this shot. Could use a bit more darkening/contrast.

Maybe if you had moved in closer and got a shot of the wheel guard. As it is the rusty fender is pretty well obscured and really doesn't serve to enhance the composition. Hope this is helpful.

Hard to tell what this is--my eye jumps around to figure out what the main object of the shot is. Also don't see anything clearly that's rusted. 4

What's the thing in the picture? Bicycle?

Maybe hidden a bit too long. Not seeing rust here.

I'm really lost here to understand this pic. I think theres a bicycle down there but I could easily be mistaken. imho you could've focused more closely on a specific part of this hidden object

I'm still lost--your subject is not apparent enough for me.

The bike (took me ahwile to figure it out) is too obscured by grass to make this an interesting composition. The details are washed out.

Is something under there? Is it a bike? A little hard to see Think its a bike though, mabey more zoom on the rusty parts would be better, and more contrast, Good luck :)
