I love the soft focus, nostalgeic feel of this photo. It evokes many strong feelings in me, sadness, dispair, and eventually hope. good luck in the voting.

Probably the most "artistic" of all the challenge entries. I really like this, but I am afraid you took a big risk, and other voters might not see the absolute beauty in this photograph. Well done!

Great subject matter. I very much like that the wheel is not overwhelming as the subject. This adds to the artistic value of this photograph. Good luck in the challenge.

I am such a sucker for old mills with water wheels. Where was this taken?

The only (very small) enhancement that I would make to this photograph is to have taken it at a slower speed to blur the water and the wheel. Otherwise it is extemely well done.

This photo brings back childhood memories to me, this is the sort of place you would see old men sitting in chairs, whittling and drinking "soda pop". I love your use of speia here, it adds to the feeling of nostalgia. This photo receives a 10 from me, one of only 2 I gave in this challenge. Very well done.

This photo brings a rush of nostalgia to me, it reminds me so much of my grandfathers workshop. The muted colors add tremendously to this feel. I gave only 2 10's in this challenge and this was one of them. I love this photograph and it is one that I would love to have hanging in my den. Thank you for bringing back such warm memories.
