Nice idea here. Nice choice of subject image. Good composition and placement within the frame. To me the image is a bit harsh with the bright yellow lights and it seems noisy (pixillated). Thanks

This is a very nicely composed still life presentation. I like the history you have given us with it. The lighting and textures are wonderful. Lovely piece.

I love spinning wheels. To me they remind me of fairytales and possess such a magical quality. I like the yellow and brown tones and the selective color of the yarn within the basket. The lighting casts a whimsical effect. The only constructive criticism I have is that the wall behind the spinning wheel is a little over sharp in definition and a bit distracting to the eye. Otherwise, a very beautiful subject!

What a beautiful pic! The wheel fills the frame well, excellent details and I love all the shades of yellow and browns! The texture from the wall is a nice added touch. Good luck in the contest!

I like the colors in this as it gives it a feel of something very important, gold, i love the rustic feel to it and the shadows really make this stand out

Good entry for the contest. Nice addition to a contemporary setting. Old piece often have a softness and history to add to the modern. Nicely done

I think this is a really interesting and unusual subject. I love your composition - with the placement of the basket of threads under the wheel. A different and enjoyable photograph.

You did a great job I love it, the light is very nice and I like the history behind it. I Read you artist notes and it made me appreciate it even more. I love sentimental things. Nicely done
