Heine, interesting experiment. I actually like the image, and if taken at face value, knowing this is processed to achieve this result I believe it is quite good, just a tough sell in an open challenge.

Nice scene, colors are nice, but the halos are distracting and make it look over processed to me.

A bit over 'cooked' for my tastes... though it would be nice as a drawing.

way too overprocessed.

I can see why you liked this subject, I like it too! But it looks to me like you've gone overboard with editing ... possibly an HDR experiment ... leaving distracting halos around the building and to a lesser degree, the wagon. HDR seems to be the wave of the future, but I'd suggest backing off a bit.

The tone mapping is over-done for my taste.

My first impression is that this is really, really colorful. I like the framing and composition, but whether the image is successful or not depends on what you are trying to accomplish. To my eye, it looks too much like a cartoon, and would be better if the processing were toned down a little. Others may see it differently.

Over saturated/over processed IMO. The halo/glow around the building against the sky is distracting. The composition is very nice, but would be better if less processed. IMHO

This is simply too far done for me. I'm all for editing that adds punch, but the image still has too look a little more believable than this.

Halo really puts this off for me I'm sorry!

Sorry, too fake looking for me. 4

Wow, so bright! A little too much for me :)

Ow ow ow! Way over processed. The objects in the picture have terrible haloing. I like the color in the shot but they are oversaturated.

Sorry :(

i think you may have slightly over-done the saturation on the sky.

Way overboard on the HDR. Sorry... that's a big pet peeve of mine nowadays. That takes a shot that would have probably been a 6 or 7 down to a 3 for me.

too much tone mapping for me
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The editing seems pretty apparent on this - see the white halos.

I know it well. I have a photo of my kids sitting on that very cart fifteen years ago when they were little.

Way overdone here. You have an beautifully captured image, great focus and historic feel, that has turned into a cartoon with the processing that was done. Sorry. A minor punch up of the colours and this is a 7, but the result you have submitted is a 4 imo. Sorry. Good Luck.

Illustration in technique, rather than photographic. It is an interesting curiosity which one might tire of and seek something ore restful to look at.

So far you are in my top 2 for most insanely tone-mapped entry! I like it!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Interesting treatment, except that the sky appears "painted", and should have a gradient.

the cartoonish sky kills it for me
