Greetings from the Critique Club!

I really like the angle you shot this from, but the big problem is the background. Your subject is in browns and greys and faded blues, almost all neutral toned colours, and behind it the areas of red to the far left and far right immediately draw the eye away, as does the dark blue to an extent. This is one of those few cases where I would suggest a tighter crop (getting rid of as much of the bg clutter as you can) and converting the image to b/w, so the viewer focuses more on the form of the wheel which is what is important here. Playing around with angles by shooting from different areas around the wheel - higher up, lower down etc - would help too.

Hope this helps

Susan
