I don't think the subject of your title is as evident to me as it is to you. Pic seems overexposed.

Interesting perspective. It's hard to determine exactly what the subject in this is.

Neat angle. Color feels a little washed out.

I remember you the theme of this challenge: RUSTED. Just a 3. Sorry.

Not sure what your intent here is other than to show a dam for the generation of electricity with a small amount of rusting of some of the metal. It has a snapshot quality and an overall faded appearance. A different point of view which would use the falls as a backdrop for a foreground rusting part would work far better than this look straight down the top of the dam. It is too short for perspective to be interesting. Some post processing that would enhance the colors and the contrast would also help.

i like the concept... not focussing it on the rust, but rather on the element that causes rust. -9

Greatly overexposed

This image is pretty well composed, but the constrast could stand to be a little higher.

Seems a little over exposed. Maybe just needed to saturate the colors a bit

image seems grainy and the colors subdued. Needs more contrast and color pop
