Stone Wheel

[PublishedShadow]

A while back someone was looking for a wheel Icon and after looking, I was unable to find any 'wheels'. There were several Shield Icons that I found and he was able to settle with one of the wooden shields as a wheel.

However, I decided to practice making Icons after reading a lot of the Icon tutorials one day at work.

While I doubt this Icon will be good enough to upload, I would still like some feedback - constructive or otherwise - if you have time.

The Smaller Images (From Left to right) are:
1) Sharpened, Some Brightness/Contrast Added
2) Sharpened with more brightness/Contrast
3) Just the small image with no alterations to my FIRST large image


Personal Thoughts:
Perhaps more Knicks\Lines in the stone?
More 'Texture'?

Thanks for your time

Edit*
This is the correct forum for this right?

I think it needs the wooden part in the hole to make it look like a wheel, currently it looks more like a stone circle.

I actually was thinking about doing the wooden part originally and will probably do that next.

But as for the stone part itself, does it look ok? Any suggestions on what needs to be improved with that?

I am going to put some more dirt on it and some cracks But overall I think the stone part has the right texture.
