Beautiful rich, warm tones, Melissa. The detail is terrific and the composition is super ... the wheel is definitely the star of this show!

Ahh ! I like the antiqueness of the snap. Good one.

Did you try vignetting ? I believe it would add to the overall feeling of antiquity.The wheel draws my attention and I see it to be the central subject.....there is a conflict .. my eyes are also uncomfortably drawn to the right half of the axle and the rusted hooks.

@chakrapani: Thank you very much for the comment. Actually, there is a slight vignette...it was darker, but I wasn't sure of it so I backed off the opacity. Sometimes you just never know...
Well, since you brought up the rusted hooks, now it's all I see. lol They stick out like a sore thumb! Not sure what I'm going to do about that...

Anyway, thank you very much. I really appreciate your insight.

I love the textures here and the rusted hooks are the subject for me rather than the wheel itself.

Lovely rustic shot, the colours are really great. Composition is exceptionally good. Like Chakrapani's suggestion on vignetting.

@paulski: I really love all her treasures...it's kinda like walking through time. I wish there were more inspiring places/things to photograph in Warsaw. I feel like I'm running out of ideas/inspiration...
