Third place: Another winner from Vijay, who seems to have the sharpest lenses in all of pBASe and who seems to travel everywhere. Wonderful use of wide-angle in this interesting juxtaposition of nature and machine.

Second place: The most rusty rust of all. I love the simple structure of this image, making it look like a painting from the Museum of modern art.

First place: There is the rust of course, but I was captivated by the creative post-processing, which makes for a nice surrealistic image and sci-fi feel.
