Hey. Where have you been hiding this? Just saw it tonight for the first time in a thread. Very nice. Love the warm glow and clarity of this image. Wonderful feel and composition.
Great composition. There is something very appealing about this shot - yes, it plays into the factor of something old/the past sitting there in a field. But this takes on the appearance of a painting just by composition and the 'softness' of the overall image. I especially love the little splashes of color with those purple flowers that color an otherwise earthy/rusty palette.
this picture looks like a painting the colors are so vivid. one day i want to be like you when i grow up(in digital photography that is) thank you for such a great picture to view
This is great. The fence looks like a wave flowing across the bottom of the frame. I just read about how the rule of 3's can be where you have the foreground, the background and the middle ground! You have illustrated the author's point with this picture.
I'd easily have given this a 9 or 10. Don't worry about a ribbon, who cares? You've created a photo that most people would dream of capturing someday, that's the real joy.
Really cool Laurie! Definately a poster or a postcard shot. Well done!
P.S. Send me a bigger file if ya dont mind? I'd LOVE to do a pen and ink drawing of this one!
Awesome tones and softish focus effect goin' on here! If ya dare give away your secrets, I wanna know how you achieved this! If I nick pits (:-P) the only thing I find a little distracting is the darkness (lack of detail) in the tractors rear tire...
Yours as always

The tractor looks like a grumpy old man with a hunchback. Well, maybe I'm anthropomorphizing too much lately. Great composition though. The post-processing is a bit over the top, but tastefully done. I wouldn't buy it for hundreds of dollars. Would have given this a 7 in the challenge.
Laurieeeeee! Put a white border around this and sell it for hundreds of dollars. I absolutely adore this shot. I don't know exactly what it is, but something about it just pops and it is brilliant! Looks really good at a larger size... (like 20X30 on my wall!)...! Way to go!!! Keep it up!
