I just love these shots! when these type of captures appear you don't merely focus on colors you focus on distinctness, nostalgia, reminiscense of the days gone by a picture is worth a thousand words!! Great shot!!

I think I know you by now ;) yeah this is old junk but it has a real rustic feel and look to it, very well framed, colors are nice even though they are "boring" The lighting seems to a bit harsh, but either than that, it is a great shot. I hope that is not too much doggin Deb

    LOL!! Dog away! That is how I am trying to learn to please the majority, which I don't believe possible, but a very nice challenge it is!!

Comment from Trekpete


Brings back memories of using one of these, only kidding I am not that old but I have ploughed with a tractor drawn single furrow plough. It took an age to cover a field.LOL.
Not to keen on your composition here, I think a better shot would be looking at it from the front left and the wheel in the top right is distracting. A great subject though.

    Thank you Trek, I certainly agree as I took a few like that, but wrong time of day and cast shadows hiding detail being as shooting around posted propert. I appreciate your comments! Yep, Trek, got those memories too, drawn by horse, 'Ole Nubbins', well, think that was the only horse I never fell in love with---

Comment from Windsor


I think this is an interesting photo. In my opinion it would have benefitted from a more detailed look at the object. I can see the colors and imagine the textures of the object, but I am frustrated by not being able to step up and take a closer look.

I love these shots of yours! They remind me of my great grandparents' farm that I used to go to when I was just a little boy. Great piece of farm equipment, but the car tire (still on the car) in the top right is kind of distracting. a small crop turns this to a five for me. Great shot.

    Thank you so much Blue!!! Could not crop without cutting off part of the plow or making too close of a crop to the handle. Just decided to live with it and learn!

Well, Debbie...looks like the harvest is over and a few screws loose. However, always hope for a better tomorrow...can adjust the screws, grease the squeaky wheels, align, adjust, and paint her up and she will be a new model. Great shot and clarity that nothing lasts forever. :)

Comment from Christina05


This is another amazing antique shot LowRider! The clarity is amazing, as well as the depth of field and the colors...only you can find the beauty in things that I remember as hard work LOL ;) Great work on this, and looking forward to more. I know you can't help some things, but is that a car tire I see in the upper right hand corner? Just curious...I know you can't crop it because it would cut off the tip of this antique tiller. Great job Debbie!!

Comment from redwalkker7


This is a nice piece LowRider, the cropping is great, the rustic feeling is enhance with the fall colours, I think the cement brick should have been moved, hehehe

at second look this piece will work in the book, it's not great but again I laughed when i read "Older then LowRider?" I am sure with the pieces you have in the book you can change a few things put in a bit of your humor and I think you would have a professional book. I am sure, I laughed already through the whole thing, just abit more prepreation and you will have it!
