We found an old timber wagon in the middle of nowhere with a missing wheel and a bunch of timber on it. The wagon was standing in a hill and the owner had tried to solve this "minor" problem with loads of stones...
...and I do love the circle shape!

The green moss and blocking on the lower right distracts from the subject. The sharply contrasting shadow of the wheel well against the pavement also creates a distriction. Perhaps a more upwadr angle would have centered the image in the darker wheel well and emphasized it more.
definately rusty, however, the subject is not drawing me in. To quote Simon from American Idot "boring". I don't like the way the subject is dead center in the photo. not even a dramatic angle, or a close up. the background is alright, although really grainy, there is nothing distracting in the background. focus and clarity are alright, and lighting seems to be good for the photo. Did you try to up the saturation? I think that may help to bring out some added color in the reds of the rust. just a suggestion. ~Heather~

a little noisy, colors are a little flat, might look better with slightly smaller DOF. looks like it was taken with a cheap camera, but overall not bad.
