Very nice capture. I love pictures like this. They just have so much character. The field this sits in is perfect with the hay growing up around it. Great job!

Very different Low. I like the framing it works very well with this. The image is small so it it hard to see the clarity. But the lighting and colors are great and the over all composition is very rustic and country. Funny you don't seem like a cowgirl or a farmer.lol

We have several of those here in Central Texas, even if it is a different model!! Some of them can even talk, if that is what you want to call it. I love the old ways, (as long as I don't have to pick any cotton). There are very few of things like that left. It is well framed. Good color, just a good photo.

Comment from gajnath


I think this has clarity and colour. I am trying to see where you can connect contraption to bike so you can really throw the bull**** around.:) Love your photos, Debbie

I like this shot very much. I think you have isolated this contraption well. There is no doubt about the subject. The background is perfect. I do believe the lighting is a little harsh. I think the color would have stood out more with the sun lower in the sky. Anyway, as always, I enjoy looking at what you have to show.

This is one evil looking doohickey! I've studied it and to be honest I still am not sure what it's for. Great shot, a little harsh with the strong sunlight. Nice composition.

    Thank you Blue!!! Is truly a manure spreader from long ago, manure used by farmers for fertilizer.
Comment from nefey


What ever it is, it is interesting. I'm a city person - we have lots of nameless stuff waiting to be towed but nothing like this. I like the vegetation around it it provides texture and scale also like the background it frames it quite well. I like the shot - good job

Comment from Jeff


The name says it all. The aspect ratio throws me a bit, but it is a must for this subect Nice contrast between the subject and background. Good DOF on the subject and nice softness in the background to help the spreader pop. Nice picture!

Comment from jnxsmommie


I like your framing on this. Something about the overall color tone leads me to believe that some slight color balance is needed to take away the overall yellowish tone. Still nicely composed and good focus.
