| The main and first thing I notice is the lack of contrast between the tractor and the leaves. Without a better tonal range the image appears 'flat' and nothing really stands out as much. One thing you could do is choose a darker shade of brown when you turn it sepia, that is if you duotone it in post-processing. Playing around with levels could help a little too. |

The sepia tones are good dates the piece. Overall a good shot I would say. I would perhaps crop the top of the photo to get rid of the 'whiter' corner in the top left. I have to say though I get the shot either very large or very little, both making it hard to see.
Another possibility is that you could of left all the tire in, but I don't mind it way it is. (just trying to give some feedback)

| Like moodville said, the tractor doesn't stand out enough. I probably would've panned over to the left to see more of the tractor. As always, follow the rule of thirds as much as possible. Not much else I can say. |

Wow, that tractor is buried in weeds!
Cropping is so important to get your subject (the tractor) across better... In my opinion there's too much of the building and weeds in the shot. I'd crop at least 1/2 of the plants on the right out, probably an inch off the left (to remove the wood frame of the building), and probably leave the top and bottom alone. I'd only crop off of the top to remove any "left overs" of the frame" as result of cropping the left.
Then the colors... I think there is too much red in the toning. Try to slightly drag the arrow to the Left a tiny bit when doing the toning. Then last as someone said, use Levels (or Curves) to adjust the contrast to make it a little stronger. Not too much, you don't want to lose detail if possible.
Great shot! |
