Excellent framing of Empire State Building which seems to disappear into a heavenly light. I would have preferred though that you would have used photoshop to make the lines near the left and right edges vertical. I feel like I am looking at the leaning tower of manhattan oon the right. Additional lighting on this side of the erector set would also help. Large expanses are only in silhouette.

A 6.

The underexposure of the structure loses its impact as a rusted main subject, I am drawn to the building in the back.

I love the photo, but docked a few points because the building in center came off as the subject to me, not the actual rusted object which was kind of what the challenge was about. =)

I like the contrast of this shot. Nice colors, not too sharp, but just sharp enough. Well done. 9

Good contrast of new and old. The backlight of the "erector set" takes away from the photograph.

Nice with a different composition. Too bad about the fog/smog/whatever that makes the building faded. Would have been a nice one in the silhouettes challenge too.

Nicely framed, but the rust is hard to see.

you should have exposed for the rust there is little detail here. Although I like the contrast of new old and composition

I think the subject is a little too dark, I like the background though, Good luck :)

A fellow Clevelander. Great shot, nicely framed and nice contrast. It's a shame the foreground shadows hide the details of the rust. I imagine you'll receive comments to that effect. 7

your main subject is too dark, a little fill flash would have made this an 8. instead i give you a 6

Change the angle just a tad so that the antenna from the building doesn't go into the 'erector set'
