 Just a shot of an old tractor. Converted from RAW. Selective adjustment to darkness of shadows behind wheel. Adjusted contrast and curves. Cropped, resized, sharpened, added border. Saved as JPEG.

I fully expect a low 5's score for this, but who cares. I've got a bit of an old-stuff b/w theme going on at present and I kinda like this.

precious, distracting border makes image appear to be distorted (stretched on horizonal axis).

I really love the processing on this. There are so many details to look at. The perspective makes me feel like I am right there in the scene. I love these kinds of shots. Well done.

Lovely picture, just the aspect ratio seems off.

that is one crazy wheel. Contrast is off the charts for me, but the composition is nice. Makes the wheel look ovular which is kinda cool.

Great perspective. Contrast is quite nice and there's a nice range of tones. Incredibly interesting wheel as well. Great one.

Nice idea. The right side is too bright for my taste.
