    Awesome. The leaves on that plant almost look translucent. I have never seen a money plant before, they don’t grow in this neck of the woods. The money plant has such great contrast against the rusty old bike.

    Such a deep image. I like static of the bike and moving lights of thousands dry flowers of sepia.
    Money already spent, bike lost his life, everything is over and only memory still alive…

  • Jolie

    I really enjoy the pov & treatment here. When first viewing it also like the wheel was sitting in a meadow of money plants; the transparent nature of what is around the wheel brings such a beautifully intriguing element to the overall wonderful composition.
    A classic!
