FIRST IMPRESSION: Quite unnatural color.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge.

COMPOSITION: Composition is reasonably good, though it might have been stronger if you included less of the foreground.

TECHNICAL: The most striking technical issue in this photograph is the unnatural color. It appears the white balance may have been set incorrectly. If it is set to a manual setting, perhaps returning to automatic would have helped; if it is in automatic then perhaps setting a custom white-balance would have strengthened the image. Depth of field, exposure, etc. all appear appropriate for the shot.

CONCLUSION: A good entry. More attention to the color probably would have been the single most effective way to increase your score.

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Why the unnatural coloring? Doesn't really contribute anything to the picture.

whoa! the colours are really really strange on this one. Subject is nice, but the post processing is not doing it justice at all. The grass is an unnatural colour, as is the sky and the load on the wagon.

I think the color swap is harsh... composition needs improvement.. or perhaps a better crop

I"m not sure I like the head-on view of this old time carriage, but would have preferred a more oblique angle of view and more of a close up to provide additional detail of the plants in the carriage. Also, I find the blue cast objectionable.
