This has a quiet sort of defiance to it - it may be leaning, but it still looks like it's putting up a fight and serving it's purpose. The muted colors are nice, but I do wonder what it looks like with the leaves a bit more boldly colored (not sure what they look like in real life!)
The color seems a little washed out, but the photo is still good. I would have liked to see the leaves a little brighter, but then again, it might be distracting. Just thinking out loud! LOL
Not voting, but wanted to comment that the composition and processing are so well done! I love the old feel of this photo (heh...those tires are perfect!)
