I really enjoy this picture for some reason. It captures life. Nicely cropped, but wish there was more of a focal point. Maybe a slight blur focus edging would enhance a more dominant focal point. just my opinion. Thanks for sharing!

Unique capture Mary and like the moss growing on the wheel gears! What once was a running machine is now a wonderful work of art with all the lovely colors mother nature has encased it with! Nice sharp focus with great framing! Nice find Mary!

Nice shot!
This is an interesting scene! I really like the look of it! Old machinery can be beautiful if you look at it right and it looks as if you did here! Good job!

The wheels of industry have certainly stopped here! I wonder what it did? Your photo has quite an eye catching frame filling composition. Focus and exposure are good providing the viewer with a fine experience of the colours and textures of decay. This shot is further confirmation that nature will eventually reclaim everything. Well don, very good photo!

Good initial impact. Good focus, lighting and color harmony. The aged machine no longer able to work is now offering a home to very small green plants. This is the center of interest. Good composition. Good technique, technical skill and story telling potential. Creativity in title.
