Very nicely done, lovely composition and the movement in the wheel is excellent.

Lovely feel to this one, i like the movement of the wheel and the Sepia effect.

great compo, David, .. this kind of "reverse vignetting" is quite interesting ..

I agree with all the remarks above, beautiful! Somehow it reminds me of Larry, and I think he'd like it too.

Wheel-done! Seriously though a smashing shot. I like the textures and framing.

I am really grateful for your comments on this picture! It was very difficult to shoot due to the shutter speed of 1/8 and I had many attempts before I got one right (I did not have my tripod with me that day). Also it didn't seem to hit the mark until I converted it to Sepia. Once I had done this it seemed the atmosphere was right.
