I like the shot but I think it would be a better candidate in bw.

and maybe crop in left & bottom.
I like it as it is but agree with the comment below about B&W
love all the shades of rust and texture of the old iron.
Geof that is my kind of shot bud, just perfect as it is !
Bury Bolton Canal G?
Colour version for me ol pal, rust just dont look right in b/w!
Nice shot. i love old bits of machinery like that.
I would also like to see a B&W version. I think it would suit the age of the subject.
I'm also not too sure on the bottom left. I think it's just the little area of the ground in the corner standing out, being as there's no other similar plain area?
It's a nice image anyway and as a plus, one of those that has huge potential for buggering about with in a variety of ways to make a few very different 'looks': something you can get all arty with if that's your thing
I love the variety and levels of corrosion, different textures and tones on a range of shapes
have a go Andy...i did one and didnt quite like the result
cheers
geof
Here you go Geoff. my take.

Too OTT?
A little cropping, upped the saturation a tad, then threw in a bit sharpening to bring out the texture.

I like the B&W version
Now dont get me wrong here, but rust is many, many shades of red! Not white or black or silver or grey.
Thats why I prefer the colour version. Nothing wrong with the mono ones, (perhaps a tad oversharpened G?)
Rust is red, red chaps!
Of course this is just my personal view!
