		| | I think the grain adds to this image and gives it its own 'feel.' |

		| | Thank you everyone for the comments and votes, I know I didn't ribbon but this is my highest ranking and placing image yet.  I'm not sure if I'm getting better or you all are slipping...lol kidding.  I had originally shot this as a silhouette with a much better sky, but thought that maybe there would be too many similar shots and I wanted more detail that I just couldn't seem to get with a fill flash (kept getting the grass only) so I did post processing which I'm not that great at but am learning. 
 Thank you again for everyones comments and votes, I'm hoping this doesn't stay my highest rated for long. :)
 Scott

		| | Perfect composition for this shot--a little oversat on the lower part of the sky, but great colors--it really sets this beast off :)  Good job! |

		| | Nice shot, but in the grass and on the shovel of the machine, it looks a bit noisy, was that intentional? |

		| | play with the saturation and contrast a bit to improve this nicely taken photo |

		| | Great idea; I love the colors.  A little too grainy for a higher score. |

		| | Very nice image.  Great title as well.  Beautiful sunset, but enough light to identify the "mighty giant".  This is amoung my favorites in this challenge.  I think it will do very well, and probably net a ribbon.  Good luck.  <9> |

		| | I feel really good about this shot.  You managed to keep emotion in this challenge.  I also commend you on choosing a great title. This title doesn't EXPLAIN the photo.  The photo certainly speaks for itself!  But the title compliments the photo perfectly.    Good job, and best of luck. |
