Comment by scalvert:
Good color and exposure. The raised eyebrows provide a nice expression. The background is really odd-looking. Looks like you've smudged a background plant in Photoshop, but the result looks like black plastic trash bags. Maybe a dark shirt would have tied the two together? Cropping the elbow off the right side for a vertical format looks better to me, and keeps the subject from facing out of the frame as much. Overall, still an above-average attempt.

Great color capture. His left arm dominates the image, though.
Closer crop on the right, perhaps?

Comment by Phileine:
the effect of the leaves on the background is interesting. I find the color of the chair degrading the overal color-balance of the picture.

8 from me. I like this. Would only comment on the partial seat on the lower left and the white spot on the background by his head also on the left. It's a fine shot, good light.

Comment by blindjustice:
I love the composition here- it is interesting and well framed and I love that guy with the stop sign in the pilot car.
one criticism may be that the color on the wheels is weak, orange and is distracting away from the body of the tractor. I would try this again with just the yellow.

Comment by Glacierwolf:
The picture is all washed out....... hard to tell if it's a desat or just over exposed. If you want desat to work you need to start with a good picture. Not all picture will work.

Comment by TooCool:
IMHO, this is a touch too contrasty (probably the harsh light from the time of day it was taken). Never thought I'd say that about a (mostly) b/w image. Also (once again just my opinion) I think it would have had more oomph if you would have left the whole grader (I think that's what the machine is) in color and not just the yellows...
