Hi Jeremy,
Greetings from the Critique Club...
Congrats on a new personal best with this shot.
You have composed an interesting shot here. You've used dof very well to isolate your main subjects against a pleasantly blurred background. I also like how the top part of the hinge is oof and the part connected to the lock is crisp. I helps pull my eye through the shot as does the angle of the elements.
I agree that the hot spot detracts a bit.
The blues and grays make a subtle color statement that completes the overall effect.
To make it a bit better? I think playing around with the location and angle of the light might add some punch to the rust tones and bring out some interesting shadows without interfering with your existing colors. The flat lighting, while effective, doesn't add depth or interest.
I hope you found my comments helpful. Please pm me if you have questions.
Regards,
Theresa |

I find it interesting how the focus drops away from the top to the bottom of the image.
Is that you reflected in the shiny metal of the lock? That bit is slightly distracting. I am unsure how you would 'fix' that in future shots. Perhaps someone with better knowledge could answer that... |

| Wonderful textures and colors. I really like the angle and composition you created with the different lines running through the frame. |

NIce reflection on hasp, nice combination of woods and metals. Here I would have liked more depth of field and just slightly less exposure.

| Now this is cool stuff, I love the perspective and the texture on the wood against the lock and rust, nice DOF and sharpness too :) Good job |

| Simple yet effective. Good handling of DOF. The bight white on the lock is a tad of a detractor, but the reflection of what looks to be a flag is a plus. |
