Greetings from the Critique Club

Ha Ha. All it needs is a rocking chair on the front porch! And maybee a dawg...

Technically, this is nicely exposed with the reds and weathered grays good foils for each other. Nice subdued shadows make the colors glow. As one of your commentors mentioned, the trees are a bit green, but what the heck, it's spring.

Composition: Well that half-a-tree on the right side bothers me a bit. The image could well stand some closer cropping on the right side and on the bottom, thus removing that half-a-tree (which is anachronistic anyhow) and perhaps giving the image more pop factor. Try it and see what you think.

Overall, I think it was a good find and you handled it nicely.

You're new to DPC so let me be among the first to welcome you to the site. I hope you have fun here and I'll look forward to seeing more of your work.

If this was cropped to remove about an inch off the left and bottom it would give it that extra pow. Right now the sky on the left and the bright grass-less ground on the bottom distract your eye from the subject which seems a bit too centered.

wow this is really cool, i love the bright, vibrant colours the scene in itself is interesting enough to get and keep my attention.
If anything I think the tree's in the background look over-saturated and slightly un-natural but that's only a minor criticism :o)

Nice title, I like seeing the bright red tractors with the weathered grey barns...a great color contrast, especially when you throw in some bright green grass. Nice job.
