I really love the shallow depth of field, with the incredible texture of the ribbon in focus. Great colors.

Focus isn't good - the only thing in full focus is the ribbon.

I remember those small rectangle bales. Lots of heavy work putting them into a hay mow! Great work!

This is without a doubt country life. The focus is good and the hay bales create a nice pattern in the foreground. There is a nice array of color throughout, but there is a harsh light hitting just above the tractor and it definately is taking away from the rest of the photo.

Other than the light the angle in which this was taken is a little distrating, might help to turn it slightly.

Overall this is country life, the farmer even reminds me of some old movies that portray the farmer as lazy. He just looks so relaxed and at ease there on the tractor seat. Although I know a farmer's life is not a lazy one, they just always look so relaxed on the tractor.

Pretty, but not crazy for the composition...which I believe has caused the focus to be out of line.

I really like the muted colors in this photo. The only part that bothers me is the glare at the bottom of the bell.

I wish the bell was a little more in focus since it is your primary subject. Congratulations (if it was your day).
