Really nice composition here. The wagon is very interesting. It has Christmas lights on it though which does hurt the rustic effect just a tad. The focus is a bit off but that could be your upload. Overall excellent shot!

Comment from angel on a dark path


Interesting shot of an abandoned wagon. The day was bright though and the image does look overexposed. It's also a bit too wide for my screen.

Comment from Christina05


This is a great photo, the focus is a little less clear than it should be, however, it could also be from the upload...that is what happened to mine...Great photo I love pictures of the past!! Great job looking forward to more from you!!

Comment from badbitbucket


this is an excellent composition. this is a rare case where harsh light actually works to better convey the starkness of the subject and the circumstances. The lonely tree in the background is a excellent added touch as well.

Nice work!

Comment from daniel29


This is a great old wagon. And it really looks like it has been abandoned a long time ago. The colors and framing are very good but the photo is a little out of focus

This is a neat image of old wagon, presentation very good and color natural. Wagon draws ones attention to image right away. The only thing maybe would be have wagon a little further away to capture the whole image. Also could be a little sharper. All in all a great photo.

Comment from pbjchef


I love aged wood! This sis a good pic but I think it is a little out of focus. The sky also looks to be a littlebit washed out on my side as well but a nice pic anyway

Comment from Milezone


I use a rating system to evaluate all photos. I tend to be a bit tough, but I do this in hopes it will help other fellow photographers in taking great pictures. I am no expert either, this is just my opinion. But I hope it helps you.

Focus/Sharpness: 8+ Focus is nice, but lots of noise, and a tiny bit out of focus.
White Balance/Lighting: 10 Great lighting!
Depth of Field/Backgrounds: 9+ DOF works great for this shot.
Frame/Cropping: 10 This is what I like most of this photo, perfect angle and position. Nice!
Overall Photo: 9 A great photo in my opinion, I think if you would have had better focus and less noise it would have been a totally awesome shot.

Comment from starrdust


i like the history in this piece. i like the worn wood and the stories this wagoon could share of it's travels though the country side.

Comment from blendedfamily


A very nice shot even if the 600pix makes us slide over! hehe Nice find of this old wagon. I think it is a bit too light on my end but seems like others see it that way too. So maybe if you drop the light just hair before uploading? Well done LowRider!
