The brightness of this pic stops the viewer from clearly distinguishing objects...more contrast needed. Not quite sure focus is clear on wheel and seems a bit pixellated.

Comment by Klauss:
ok... it's a good idea... the title is not exactly the best one (the age is a redundant information) ... the only good thing that i find is the fact that the subject is not dettached from the rest of the scene, it blends in like the grass and the other "participants"; had the shot been a colourful one, this thing wouldn't have happened; also, it is good that the subject was placed so close to the edge of the shot as it has no perspective left... i would say an 8; good job!

This picture reminded me of my childhood. I can remember my father rolling prior to sowing the lawn in our new house. It was all so exciting. So, the good thing about this pciture is that the eye is drawn to the roller and then into the rest of the image and for me the emotions it rekindled.

LOTS of DOF! Perhaps it's a bit oversharpened.

I think a tighter crop taken in vertical mode which would remove the clutter on the right of the pic would be better.
