I like it. The PP looks good on this one. I feel that there is too much foreground and I would crop/clone out the block on the mid-left.

Other than that, good shot.

Agree with Grimlock about the comp and the PP. Do you care to tell us what you did in post?

How bout this one? The PP is actually a Lightroom preset. I know I cheated.

neat shot. I'd maybe darken the block on which the wheel is sitting to help it look grounded, but otherwise really nice to me.

Any chance you could do that to show me what you mean?

Why does it look like the carriage is metal? Is it a real canon or a sculpture?

The cannon has a definite "direction" in this pose. It's aimed to the left. It might be a more attractive composition if you gave it more room into which to shoot.
