Here is a photo I took in Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday afternoon. There was a monument of sort's to someone named "Rob," and this ship's wheel was attached to it.

Any feedback?

Cheers! :)
 
While I normally like DOF shots, the foreground hub catches my eye too much and takes away from the overall shot. A quick swag experiment of cropping most of it out seemed to help from my POV.

Other than that, I like it. The corrosion pattern makes the shot interesting.
 
Thanks for the feedback.

Most of my photography is geared towards more interesting angles, and creative use of DoF. While tourist photos are nice sometimes to capture a scene, there's a lot of beauty missing in close-ups and otherwise seemingly "odd" images.

Another thing is that I have a general "No Post-Processing" policy, which states that anything beyond perhaps adding some fill light, or correcting red-eye goes against the concept of "photography" and instead becomes "digital art." I do the former as a hobby, not the latter, so if my pictures don't look as cool as a lot of others out there, that's why.
