Very nice. I think this would have been better shot from an angle just slightly to the right, so that the distracting car is not caught in the upper right of the frame. The subject is well lit and focused. Nicely done.
BTW, you are NOT old!

Comment from Lazarus
very excellent image of the old plough. the lighting seems a little flat, it was probably an overcast day, and i would lose the bit of motorcar in the top right corner.

Comment from Orion008
That, is a very old, old looking piece of machinery. But, on the other hand, it does not seem to be in very bad shape(as many pieces of machine that were made in the old days, seem to hold up to the test of time, and the elements). Seems if it were cleaned up, it could be set up in a museum some where. Great find, orion008.

My first thought was one of liking the Content you've found to photograph. This type of content is Not easy to capture in an effective way. I like how you placed it a bit off center, that's good for this type of capture. The rusty "things" in the country seem to be captured best when they are wet, like after a rain; otherwise they are just to dry, especially with the dried vegetation around it. The other thing I can suggest is to get up close on the subject and capture a "part" of it from an interesting angle. Just tossing out ideas here as I think the subject (antique, or old "stuff") is very worthy of capture but they are very difficult because of the monotone rust or drab look they acquire through age. I like it.

Comment from TheManiac
Low, Low, you 'craki'n me up today. Look, I love old crap. I've even been considered old crap myself. This shot's no exception. It is old crap, but the shot ain't. Really well done with the old dead grass around it as well. Maybe just a smidge tight on the top border, but not enough to kick up a fuss about. Good work.

This is nice. It is cropped a little tight but I am not complaining too much about that. There are some distracting elements in the photo like the car in the upper right corner. still a very nice shot

I like old machinery and tools and this is a good photo of one of them. The shadow on the body set against the angles and circles of the frame, makes for a good composition. Cheers, Macycat

LowRider, as you know I love these kind of photos. I have a few myself. It's very well done. I love the way things have grown up around it. Pictures like this make me sit and wonder what it was, what it was used for and how long ago was it used? Very nice job. Keep up the great work!
