Beautiful detail and shallow DOF. Great colors and perspective. I like how you showed the age of this wheel. I think it would look really good with less blur (greater DOF) 9
Good use of narrow DoF; you might have stoped down one more stop to get the entire wooden rim in focus, still throwing out the spokes & hub; really just my opinion, it does work fine as-is.
it seems like this would have worked better using the center of the wheel as the foregound. Either that or increasing the DOF. If I didn't know this was a wheel challenge, I wouldn't know this was a wheel. Very artistic though.
The focus and texture on this wheel are really good. I think I would have liked the picture better if the angle was a bit different and more of the wheel would have been in focus.
For me, too much of the wheel is out of focus...the intention is good, but I think the effect is lost. Maybe a little more of an angle toward the center would have helped.
The perspective and colour in this photo is great. Having a much greater depth of field I think would improve it. (the eye is drawn to the yellow which is out of focus). 5
