Re: My photographic hobby
this is interesting to me because of the obvious division into thirds, and i love the dialogue between the red-orange of the crates and the red-orange of the building. however the segment of wire in the top right is superfluous to the composition.
as for the "straight line" dilemma i believe that a slightly slanted line is less interesting than a perfectly horizontal line or an obvious diagonal (you have a great utilization of diagonals in your photos by the way) HOWEVER if you pair a slightly slanted line with other opposing diagonals/verticals/horizontals that opens up many possibilities for you
Hey guys, thanks for the good feedback! 
I knew about the rule of thirds but I just tried to be a hipster and try something different at times. Other times, like the window with colors you (spenner) pointed out, this isn't my fault: I took the picture while standing tall in an accelerating train (metro?)! All things considered, I think I did a pretty good job: aiming was hard, especially on an iPhone. :P I also often take pictures while walking since I wanted to give a moving effect (or I just didn't have the time to stop)
I will keep in mind the "straight lines" comment, though. I don't think it should apply 100% of the time, take for example the picture with the blue screw in snow which I think looks great, but you're right; cropping that railroad picture looks better, though I don't allow myself to use photoshop effects like you did to change the colors.
I'll try to post some more in due time; mind you, they'll have the same flaws, lol. But hey, as I've said, if you like anything, let me know!
Also this is one of my personal favs
I know the lines are not straight but I think it could be fixed with more advanced cropping tools
