Wagon Wheel #1

I really like the lines in this, they almost make it feel like the

wheel is moving to me. I don't usually request critiques

anymore, however, I'm curious on where the site is leading.

nice texture, and good lines radiating out. Not sure about the suggested motion, but this ain't bad.

By missing the top of the wheel makes me feel a little empty. Sorry, but I would like see it.

The texture of the old wood is well shown and the composition has been well thought out (IMO). I'd prefer the wall to be a bit brighter all over. On the other hand if the shadow of the curve on the left was more strongly defined I'd be tempted to crop off the right 1/4 leaving a square format). Well executed.

Thanks for the feedback. The wall itself was an adobe red color (close to brick red). It would have been even darker if I hadn't used a red filter. I could try a shorter print time and then burn in the wheel but what a pain! :)

 

I'm surprised there's even a shadow at all. I took this in the shade. It must be from some deflected light. I didn't notice it until you just pointed it out. Cropping it square sounds interesting. I think I'd miss that spoke in the bottom right corner though.

 

I have lots more of Arizona. Just have to print them all! About 30 of them came out good. :) The cow skull is to die for!
