Crop at top too close. Car tire does not add to image. Focus on the rust.

This image is impacted by the tire int he background. The top corpping is a bit too tight as well.

Nice framing (I would have liked all of tire at left in frame) nice light. The car tire helps to define this as a toy, but it cuts into the pleasure of viewing this relic.
The strong focus on the rocks in the foreground indicates the difficulty that is inherent in bringing rust into sharp focus. Except for the car tire, I love the setting, the angle of the sun's light, and the color of the plow.

Very nice job. A 7.

Tennyson needed a bit more light and a bit more focus for this shot. Also maybe less foreground it's cropped really tight along the top edge. :) Good luck.
