A touch heavy on the saturation, but I like the look of it on this particular shot. The green of the spoke guard contrasts nicely with the rusty chain.

Over processed or over sharpened. The floor is distracting as well.

Great varying colors, from the rust to the green and then to the road.

The picture is really grainy, but something about the grainess makes it interesting.

Wow...that's some serious saturation! It's a nice shot but many of your highlights are "blown out" and with such extreme saturation it's particularly noticable. I'd love to see this shot again with less harsh lighting. I think you'd have a really excellent image.

Too much flash kind hurt the photo. A more natural light tone would have been better.

Its really grainy but i think it goes well with the rust. Maybe a bit too contrasted or oversaturated.
