I don't know what a snaffle is, but you make them look beautiful. Very nice focus and clarity. I think the lighting is perfect, what perfect conditions for taking this photo. The background is neat as well. If I HAD to suggest something, it would be that I wish the 'knot' in the wood wasn't there or was the same as the rest of the wood. It's not a big deal at all and I love this shot either way. Who knows, without it, it might not look right, but it's the only thing I can really suggest. ~Heather~

From the critique club:

I loved this image from first site and i said so in my comment during the challenge. The composition is very appealing and the time of the shot makes that dark fading into the second zone attractive. This is the lower right hand corner. As a color image it is rich and the many different textures add great interest.

I can not offer any tips for improvement except to follow the theme of old to its conclussion. This is simply an idea to explore: We have here an old carriage wheel, a dilapidated like wall, and some shrubs. To me this equals a sepia print with a strong impact. Of course, you will be trading all those wonderful colors for a more aged look. This then becomes a matter of personal choice.

Otherwise, the image as is has a lot of things going for it. It is an image that can hang on any wall. You did great here so keep up the good work and bring us other gems to enjoy.
