For me it needs a wheel or something that suggests movement....

Comment by violinist123:
The lighting in this picture is very poor. The composition is very jumbled and there really isn't any one thing that draws the eye to it. While the majority of the shot is orangeish on a shadowed background, there is a distracting bar if bright light on the right side.

You have some really interesting textures and objects to work with here. Cropping this shot so that you show just enough of the wagon to make it obvious it is a wagon (and I'm actually assuming that's a wagon) but cutting out a lot of the other clutter would go a long way towards making this a better photo.

In response to your request for a comment on this photograph:

While in general a technically good photograph, with pleasing contrasts, nice lighting, and a composition that shows off the leading lines that are the subject here, it's ultimately a prosaic image, which is perhaps why you didn't get the score you'd hoped for. Add to that the title, and the interest, for me anyway, falls a little flat. That's not to take away from what is, as I've said, a sound image, compositionally and otherwise. But, for me, there is nothing to engage. Perhaps it's a left brain/right brain thing, where some will appreciate the highly structured lines, geometry, etc., and others will be looking for the story behind the image. As someone has said, a truly great photograph has to be a picture of something, while being a metaphor for something else. Not everyone can do that with every image, but in photographs where we are asked to consider lines, shapes, buildings, and perspective, perhaps it's more called for. I still want to say that, overall, it's a technically good photo, and many will very much appreciate just that.

Comment by Melethia:
This is my kind of image and woefully underrated. I like the "perspective" - but it's the angles, the curves, the lines, the reflections, and the black and whitedness of it that I really like. Quiet and understated - and well done in my humble opinion.

I likewhat you did here. The comp and idea are great. The "leaves" need to be sharper though for full impact. Just my humble opinion....
