Nice composition, but a not enough contrast between the handle and grass for me.

Metal not plastic.

Comment by Artifacts:
An excellent stock photo image. Very clean and the lighting is outstanding without any overexposed areas. The iPod looks surrealistic.

Some viewers will feel this image does not fit the challenge topic and will vote it lower.

Technically there is little wrong with it. It does seem a little unbalanced with darkening between the left and right side of the image but that may be just individual taste. If the middle left side were darked about 15-20% more than it be balanced better with the right side.

Good picture.

This is excellent. Great work. I hope you don't get voted down by people who think that everything has to be in focus! I also like the slight angle of the whole shot.

I would prefer to see more of the wagon in focus, and the horizon not tilted so much.

Comment by Man_Called_Horse:
we all know its a "metal" challenge, why not just say "Many summers ago", it strengthens the titleing and gives it a whole differant perspective.

very nice comp, dof ok, blacks good, whites really need work, good idea, nice texture, overall nice
