Are you shooting in RAW mode? Try adjusting the color balance on this a little to warm it up a smidge. There's a fairly healthy blue tint in it (must have been a cloudy day, or in the shade?).

Thanks for sharing the story of this photo and the subjects within. :)

I like the arrangement of this still life photo. The angle of the chair, leaving parts of the canning jar and white bowl outside the frame...that all works very well IMO.

The monitor I'm using at work isn't the best by any means. What I'm seeing in this image is big potential but it's coming up a tad short (again, probably this monitor). The 'white' cloth and basin aren't white - they're medium gray. An adjustment to (histogram, curves, levels - pick one) and a healthy shot of contrast, would really make a difference I think. Obviously JMO. :P

Very nice scene. I love the story behind it. The smooth texture of the chair stands out against the rough texture of the stone.

Great bokeh! The contrast from the wire to the background is really nice.

Nice find! You've done a great job with the light that was available to you. Perhaps you could experiment with some dodging and burning in pp to try and create some shadows etc

Great job in getting what you could get. Sometimes those are the best. I agree with glad2badad that you could try for some close ups. Like the wheel with the vine going through the spokes. Great find.

Very cool subject. You'll have to revisit this after any first snowfall - that would make for an interesting photo. :) Some closeups of this may have worked in your favor given the lighting conditions you've pointed out. Something with just the front wheel, vines, and wooden fence (where if deep enough, some wood grain could show). Just a thought.
