It says you added a bit of a brownish tint, but it looks black and white. I wonder if a lighter brown tint (closer to sepia) would have worked more effectively here. While I think you did a nice job with the photo, it's lacking something in my opinion.
I think the plants on top of the little wagon lack detail. Looks like a lighting issue combined with the grainyness. When the details in something aren't really clear to begin with, then you add elements to it, it kind of makes it all mushy looking.
There is a patch of grass right in front of the wagon that looks like it's all matted down and trampled on. I wonder if you could have moved the wagon over to the left just a little bit to get that bad section of grass out of the shot?
Focus and clarity look ok on the wagon and on the background items. i think though that maybe the background is another contributor to why the plants on the cart look not right. They kind of all blend in together. Really busy looking ontop of that wagon. lol
Overall, you did achive the look you were going for. Looks real old and so does the photo. Curious to see how a lighter brown would have looked.

| I like the graininess effect. It's interesting in B&W; I'm curious how it'd look in sepia -- did you consider that instead? |

| I like the way the use of noise makes this photo look old |

| Neat idea...noise seems a little high and the plants in the wheelbarrow are "blown out' a little...but nice setting. |

| I like the subject matter - the wheelbarrow. The image has some grain to it, which I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. The image also seems a little flat, which causes the top of the wheelbarrow to blend in with the background too much. More depth of field and contrast would probably bring the wheelbarrow out more and give the image more impact. |

| That is a fine old wagon but the picture seems real grainy. a clearer picture would have boosted the score from me. 4 |

| The effect of looking like an 80 year old photo has been achieved with this photo. The subject looks vintage and the background is something that could be seen in any photographable era. Nice job - 9 |

| The subject doesn't seem to work in black and white...maybe you could have used brighter colors as contrasting duotones? |
