Wagon wheel

Several people, including some judges, have told me that it is

wonderful, but in competition three judges have rejected it. One

said the color is unbalanced and it should have less red.

I like it.

I don't think that the red is a problem here (And yes, I do know the Soviet Anthem by heart)...

However, nearly after 3 minutes of staring at it, I still can't figure out at what to focus. You need a focus point, something that would lead the eye, and that is missing.

Also, I feel that this circular shadow would do much better with a square crop...
