Original - Heavy
rust on the links of a chain near the
Golden Gate Bridge in
San Francisco; it was continuously exposed to moisture and salt-laden spray, causing surface breakdown, cracking, and flaking of the metal.Edit 1: blown out top-left corner airbrushed.
Reason
The photo is very clear and informative, exposing a great degree of detail; excellent technical quality.
Comment Very interesting! Is it possible to crop the white portion on the top left corner without compromising the image? Perhaps using Photoshop to blend it in would suffice. I find it to be a little distracting.

It's just rust......but the composition is so good, I feel compelled to Support it! Good image resolution, and the description is very informative. It just goes to show that anything can be a superb picture with the right composition.--

Weak support I like the image, but the background isn't doing it for me - it doesn't add anything to the image, and is reasonably distracting.

Support. The texture is fantastic, with nice soft lighting. The dull blurred background is sympathetic, suggesting a misty atmosphere causing the rust. I don't mind the white corner; it probably reinforces the line of the chain, but it could be cropped out (or maybe airbrushed) without compromising the picture.

I added an edit with the white corner airbrushed over. I tried cropping, but in each case the quality of the composition seemed to be hurt.

Support edit Long used in a very generic article is good sign of EV. In my opinion, higher DOF wouldn't really help this image, as it would simply show more of the very same thing we see here. Raising the DOF would also decrease the aesthetic qualities IMO. Jujutaculartalk23:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC)reply
