The composition of this photo just doesn't appeal to me. It might bes because there's so much there...the walkway, the tree, the building and the bushes. It's hard to figure out what you were focusing on.

Pretty flowers, but the tire is incidental, and has a negative impact on the photo itslef.

I want thank everyone for their comments on this one. And also ask some advice from more experienced photogs. The problem here was shooting directly at a street light. In order to keep the center from being totally blown out, I lost a lot of detail at the edges. The original shot was rather painterly looking, likely because of a Vivid color setting. Then when I brought out the darker areas, there was a lot of noise. The addition of noise reduction and some blurring ( the first two steps in any "painting" filter) brought out that aspect more. But I still liked the picture. Attached is the original. Any advice on how I could have captured a better shot to begin with?

this has a good potential , and what i imagine it would have fitted perfectly here would be an old carriage wheel; unfortunately the car was moving, so one can barely see the wheel; nice colours, but...

This image has a very "painterly" feel to it. Was some sort of post-processing done to this pic to give it that look?

doesn't focus on the nominal subject (wheels) If the truck wheel was in between that big blade of grass on the right and the first flower bud...whoaa!

Focus is on flowers, not the wheel.

Creative shooting. Maybe a bit too much clover and not enough wheel?
