Excellent lighting and focus. This is a difficult subject to render artistically. The composition includes a lot in the background that I rather it didn't and yet I would have liked to see all of the cropped off parts of the bigger gears.

Very nice rusty picture. The colors and focus are wonderful. The crop seems a bit tight - it would have been nice to see all of the big gear on the right.
Good textures on this rusty stuff, the background is not the best, the grass seems a bit washed out, mabey you could have tried different points of view, like mabey lying on the ground having something else for a backgroound, like the sky or some trees or something, Good luck :)
I would have tried a close up contrastring the point where the two big wheels converge. With the right lighting that could be very cool. This is an interesting subject, but to me, this shot is more of a "memory photo" than an artistic rendering of what you experienced here.
