It's surprising to note that this is still in working condition. I like this interesting shot presented in black and white. Very apt for old things. Good composition.Thanks for sharing!

Comment from supergold


an excellent idea indeed Pat to convert it to black and white; any color would spoil it;
good contrast with good framing and sharp focus; what is it used for in summer ?

    Thanks so much! I tried to find out the history and this was used to power an ax grinder that is set up in the warmer months

What a lovely photograph and back story.

I think your decision to make this photograph black & white was very wise. Great job!

Thw photograph also feels very balanced.

Overall, you did a marvelous job here.

I'm glad you chose to use black and white. You're right. It adds to the age of the wheel. I'm having a bit of problem with so many trees on the left of the photo as I see it. I might have cropped it a bit on that side. My eyes keep going to that part of the photo. That is just me, though. I'm sure other people look at it differently. I would like to see the wheel in action in the spring.

I love the black and white decision on this. It gives the feeling of time standing still. Details are crisp and sharp and help to make the wheel stand out.
Good luck in the contest.

A very nice image with great detail in the wheel. The black and white rendition makes it appear even older than it is. Beautiful tonality and eye pleasing composition.

I love that you presented this awesome image in black and white. It shows so much character and history.
The intricacy in the surrounding tree limbs add great drama and depth to the overall image.
An excellent vantage point.
Amazing focus and interest.
Very well captured!
