Lines and Texture

[gulfman1]

Hi everybody,
Really appreciate some critique on this photo.
Specially the contrast/harmony between the lines (vertical on the wall vs diagonal and circular of the iron).
The exif is on the photo (once it is posted on flickr)
Thanks in advance.

You'll probably get more responses if you go ahead and copy and paste the EXIF data yourself. It's not difficult, and just takes a few seconds.

This is a nice concept, but compositionally, the OOF foreground takes up way too much of the frame. Maybe you could try this from a different angle?

The concept is very interesting. I agree with the previous comment that the out of focus part of the image is rather large. I would also like to lose the distractions far away in the frame. Maybe you could take the shot a few cm higher so that the tiles beyond the diagonal/circular line could also be visible. It makes me want to see the other part of the construction too.

Agree with others... a little OOF is forgiveable if the majority of the image is compelling, but the two are out of balance here. If possible, I'd shoot again, but try different angle and perspective to make that curved line the center of attention.
