This is the chrome bumper off the front of my car. As you can see it is very rusted right now. I took this picture over the break when my Dad and I were trying to get it off so we can send it off to get re-chromed. I like the way the bar leads your eye across the picture and the rust under adds a gritty feel.

Well looks like I'll be the first to comment on this. This picture has the possibility to be a good picture, although what you've done with it doesn't accentuate any of it's possible hidden features. I'll start with the bad and work my way toward the few good things it has going for it. The first thing that gnaws at me is colors. They're boring, sometimes ordinary colors is good, sometimes it's not. This is a prime example of when it's not okay this is almost completely due to the subject matter of which has been photographed. You could have even added a fisheye effect to this picture and really given it some Wow-factors, but you didn't. Maybe you just don't know how to do that (although you could ask me since I sit like two seats away from you, just sayin') I don't really know, but I do know that you could have changed the colors a lot in the channels and really done some sweet stuff with it. Moving on, the next thing that should have been done was to crop. It would do the image well to crop most, if not all of the bottom leading up to where the bar stars and on the side where the white area is. That would place your eye on the bar where the screws or nuts or bolts are and move your eye toward the sludge you have there. I really wish you had added some contrast to this image to really make the areas not cropped to stand out. Now here's the good, The bolts or screws or whatever those are, are aligned in a fairly interesting way because of the symmetrical alignment. I wish the sludge down there had been a little sharper, but there's not much you can do about that post-picture. Actually, this picture might've done really well in black and white with some contrast and maybe add some noise in there to make it look like it was film that was pushed a stop.
