Hmm, did you mean Mesopotamian? Focus is off here - i think the camera grabbed the ground not the wheel as what should be in focus. More DOF would have helped or perhaps manual focus. Perhaps rotate the picture to ass some interest.

The composition is too centered, I think it would have looked better as a duotone. You might want to approach this subject in an artistic manner, rather than taking a photo which documents the fact that theres a wheel on the grass :)

The picture is dull, uninteresting.

Comment by e301:
The old building seems almost incidental to this shot; try it: as you focus on it, your eye is constantly pulled toward the bright areas of sky toward the top of the image. There's little real detail either:I really want to be able to see the signs of ageing in the wood, but because of the flat light it's in all that texture just isn't visible. I'm not sure what one would do to fix it - a different light would be the obvious thing, but is that possible? Perhaps if there were a time of day when the light slanted in through that break in the trees to illuminate the old shed more than the surrounding trees? Either that, or consider tthe approach of a close-up on the broken down areas of the wood. The encroachment of the trees toward the shed is obviously a good point to make re the challenge, but I think you've sacrificed a properly communicative image just to get that element.

I really like the composition of this photograph. The fact that the building is somewhat obstructed adds an element of losing hold of the past, just beyond our reach our memory. I would like something a bit more dramatic, maybe contrast or a broader range of focus (crisp in the foreground and softer in the background to add to that air of the past, or maybe the other way around). I know that would be risky because it seems most of the voters like their images hyper-crisp, but that riskiness could allow this photo to trascend to the level of art. The artist would have to play around with it to know if it would work.
