I took this shot 7 minutes after the challenge was announced. I was at one of my photographic haunting grounds with various elements of interest just waiting for the challenge announcement. This is effectively what I had imagined when taking the shot but I'm not happy with the PP. I wanted the focus on the far wheel but looking at it now I think this may be a mistake. I would love to go back and redo this shot with my tripod and a smaller aperture but I won't have the time.
I wouldn't be surprised if some consider this DNMC as someone has already said to me that gears are not wheels. To me they are.
I personally like the composition, lighting and subject and would like to see this finish in the 6's but realistically I feel this is a 5.3xxx shot.

Darn good placement for something you were not satisfied with! I didn't vote 100% and it didn't come up for me, but I would figure this would have gotten a 6 or 7 from me. I love strong perspectives.
You've used perspective very effectively to dictate size and importance here, leaving an image that has multiple levels consisting of the same object, but which have a very different feel to each of them.
