I like it, but don't care much for the title. The image is good; nice DOF.

There appears to be alot of potential in this shot, the complementary colors of the rocks and the rusted sickle, as well as the diagonal it involves. However, the green background creates a clash, by eliminating the distracting color difference it would improve the shot quite a bit. If it is altogather impossible to elminate, it could always be duotoned a rust color.

Hopefully, it will die before I do.

Nice qualities in this photo. Try cropping the sky out completely. I find it really helps my appreciation as the background becomes more uniform and even less intrusive.

A 6.

The rust doesn't stand out enough against the rock.

Took me a minute to figure it out with the title, call me slow. Good colors and lighting on the scythe.

Nicely composed and photographed. The wooden handle is a nice foil. Not too sure how the title adds to the story.

Without your title I would not have recognized it. A cropping that displayed more of it would have been better I think.

I wonder if 'Old Father Time' has to polish his own scythe? Bit of a come-down if he does. Good picture.
