Great capture - just a shame the focus is a bit soft. [6]

If this were a little crisper/less grainy, this could well be a 9 from me. Unfortunately, as it is, it's like looking at it through dirty glass. :-/ 6.

cool shot - lacks clarity- nice try, though!

Good catch (I think) but image is too small and too blurry to really see what's going on. Your image can be up to 640 pixels on a side.

I don't think that the grass in the forground adds much to this image. I would crop this just below the bushes and bring the visual focus up to the house and yard more.
You titled this tractor, but I don't feel like the main focus is the tractor. Actually, had the main focus been the tractor, I think that it would have taken away from the meeting of the challenge.
Anyway, the soft focus just doesn't work for me. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. I think here I'd rather see the detail of your home and surroundings.
The clothes on the line are a nice touch, and I like the wooden sunflower decoration in the garden. This is a really Homey environment that screams Home Sweet Home.
The angle you took this at is nice. It shows a lot of your home and suroundings. The house appears to be leaning just a notch or 2 to the left, but nothing serious.
Great interpretation of the challenge.

I thought for sure this would do better. This is one of my favorites.

something here seems out of focus, but there seems to be so much like that, I can't tell if anything actually is in focus.

I like the diffused soft focus. Perhaps there is too much open grass in the front but there are enough object in the fore and background to add good depth.

Beautiful shot, maybe crop the bottom a little bit (even up to the row of bushes) as the field doesn't add anything to the shot.
