Overexposure of wheel rim ruin this for me, try with different lighting condition for more detail.

This could be a great shot. I like the concept very much but in this case I think you are shooting a little too close and just a touch off angle. The lighting is great and the little touches of subtle color is good.
I'd like to see a bit more light behind the wheel - just enough to bring out some texture in the carriage's wood next to the wheel, and no more. Great depth of field - I enjoyed this image!
I think there's a bit too much dynamic range in this picture - between the bright highlights at the top of the wheel and the very dark shadows it's hard to get a feel for the rust color. An overcast day, or something to diffuse the light, or maybe some fill flash for the shadows could help here.
