Sorry, but that description is not a pretty picture lol

You did a superb job of keeping glare out of this frame off the snow, and the details of the trailer are not lost. Nicely done.

Your "Artist Notes" are almost always so fun. Again, clarity of the spreader is great, but the subject is dull. It's not your focus, but the fence line is cropped off. Simply not one of your better photos.

You do a great job with these subjects, they are very hard to get an interesting shot of. This one didn't quite make it to the top. It feels a little harsh, maybe just a bit too much glare off of the snow. I think it also would have been better if it have been framed a bit to the left, leaving more room to the right then the left. The front should have more room than behind, to leave a bit of space to keep it from feeling cramped. I think I also would have liked to see the fence not cut off. Maybe a lower angle, to have the fence line closer to the subject. Hmmm.. Not sure. Anyway, this is still a very good photo.

    This is the one I was most concerned about, I certainly agree, I just couldn't quite put my 'finger on it'. You have helped to clear up my confusion, greatly!!! Thank you David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

initial impression of an old warrior that's been put out to pasture and will soon fertilize the fields with it's own body. Like the angle to show action parts. Nice fence shown at the top two. a very good photo.

Well, your hubby is going to have trouble spreading that ole' crap with the bottom out...guess the fence rail got knocked down when he high-tailed it out of your aim :) Great focus, clarity, and a wonderful scene.

Love the fence on top and snow cover brings out the piece of equipment. I know your just gona die laughing at some of the reviewers that ain't got a clue what this thing does. Don't worry I won't tell them either. I take it this was cattle or dairy farm.

Well retired I would say.LOL. Nice shot.You have got a good exposure on this with the detail on the spreader standing out well against the snow. Nice one.

I like the framing of this shot. The snow seems a little on the dull side but otherwise I think you have done a very nice job on this one.
