I took a lot of pictures and either got a good picture of the wheel that wasn't interesting or a good picture but the wheel was not prominent. Cropped the picture a little so the wheel would be larger in the final pic.

I like this photo but it looked flat to me. I opened it in Photoshop and it looked better making me think that you saved it with a color profile that didn’t work on the web. I don’t know much about color spaces but I think you lost something in the translation.
Good subject, nicely cropped. I'd have saturated the reds and yellows as much as 40-60% (Maximum without noticeable oversaturation effects) with a little decreased brightness in the saturation to bring out more vibrant building colors and give it a more "New England" look.
You picked a tough one given how well known this subject is. I feel the color is flat rather than soft, but I'm afraid (other than waiting for a less overcast day) I don't know how it could be improved from a technical standpoint. Composition is o.k. though the horizontal seems off. Wheel lacks emphasis due to lighting and lack of sharpness. (Just my opinions, throw me a raspberry if you don't agree.)
i like the shot... i like the rainy, wet mood in it, but... the wheel is too dark... well, now at a second thought.... i guess it gives some mystery to the shot; i would have liked more water...
ok,you must be from NJ.....this is the same as my postcard challenge entry.
I actually thought of going back to take one for this challenge.
Nice shot, but I would have boosted the reds a little. You will also get lowered in your score from the voters here for the fact that the wheel isn't the main subject here.
All in all a nice photo, but for this challenge, you might have found a way to make the wheel more of the focal point. It is dark and overshadowed by the size and color of the building. Maybe a different time of day or a sunnier day where the sun highlights it better?
This is a good photo in my opinion but I would have liked to have seen the wheel more prominent. It kind of gets lost both because of its relative size and how dark it is. Still I am going to give a good score because the photo as a whole works for me.
