What a great shot Colin. I like the simplicity and execution. I guess it would need to be 100% on this kind of image so the top line being slightly 'off' could be a concern, but I have to be honest and say that the effect of this photo works great to me.

Hi Colin !An unusual black and-white photo work of this interesting work of art. I love the sample and the structure by the natural lighting very well for validity come. The light and shade play give a special note to the picture. Good Focus also. Unfortunate is the fact that at the upper contour a diagonal cut developed otherwise is it perfectly.Great detail and very nice composition. Regards,Diana

Good abstract shot from a play of shapes and textures. You caught the right grazing light to point out textures and inscriptions. Composition is ok too with uncentered chains and, of course, hit the process in B/W. I agree with Andres about the little distortion in the upper part. Cheers, Renzo

Hello Colin.

Beautiful picture. The black and white format gives as a result a very graphic image.

The light is pretty good and you have dona good work capturing textures of each area of this wall.

Composition is great as well. The areas that each kind of element occupies is well selected.

I am usually quite picky about alignment on this kind of images. Verticals are well aligned and the horizontal lines at the bottom as well. But there is a small perspective problem at the top. The last rows of brick and the concrete frame (top) are not aligned. I think that this effect can be easily fixed with the cropping tool with perspective correction.

Regards - Andres.

Nice contrasty black and white shot with strong design and textures. might be worth getting close in for a macro emphasizing segments of the chain pattern. Regards..Hank

Great textures, good eye to see this. For me this is a little dark. I would prefer it to be lighter. I like the shadows on the links.

Hi David thank you for your good comment and advice.I did try lighten but I felt it lost definition and some of the graphic quality I was after. glad you like it - regards Colin

Hi, Colin, creative idea for abstract photo and nice performance technically. I like the textures of bricks and chains. B&W choice work very well with this composition and the inscription. Great work. Regards!
