A rusted rack leans against a steel structure holding up Chicago's brown line elevated train at sunset. The rake must have been there for a long time, because it has been overcome by ivy uniting the rake with the steel column. I also like how the parallel lines in the rake are also repeated in the parallel lines in the train tracks seen above.

I like the rake but seem as if there is too much "other stuff" in the image

Very busy, needs more focus on the subject. Great find.

I like this better when cropped on the left to exclude most of building. Great lighting and I like the foliage growing over rake.

A 6.

Nice shot. A little neglected corner of a busy place.

I like the angle. IMHO, would be much nicer if the left was cropped and the BG was blurred.

I like all the angles in this photo. It captures my interest.

Strange composition. Did you put the rake there?

Great Angle! I wish the lighting were a bit better.
