Okay Low another great shot of that old crap, as you call it. The composition and lighting are fine on this one. I think maybe hookin' the hubby up to this might work also (some more humor I think) lol. Nice job!!!

Keep the buggy, go get the wine...you gonna need it to stay warm trying drive this thing during in the snow!

A little more nature on the top part of the photo would have been nicer. I know that the tree isn't the focus, but as a secondary element it's distracting for it to be topless.

Another great one! Good composition and contrast. I really like the way the wood looks. Nice job with the framing. The initial impact is very good as well.

Gosh I really like these images they bring back what our roots are all about. Nice view of snow, wagon, fence all in great composition for this photo. Sharpness, framing all in synch. Keep taking images like these they say it all !

What a great piece, LowRider. I love the compositional framing of this pasttime beauty against the snow blanketed backdrop. The one barebranched tree adds great textural interest with the pine, fully needled on the other side for contrast. The varying wooded fence lines leading the eye in different directions adds nice depth appeal. Intriguing, great lighting and I love the detailing of surfacing found on the many elements that constitute what makes up this awesome, rich relic you're sharing with us.

My master used to teach me to paint wagons...I miss him...This is really great, Good catch, all the color, contrast and the lighting effect are perfectly arranged, nice work, you can actually see the history this great artwork is giving! I like all of it! JIMX

    Thank you so much Jim!! I would love for you to paint us a wagon!! What a thrill to view a painting of what FAR buds like to call LowRider's old crap!! They are teasin' of course, least most are!!

This is very cute. The color is wonderful, as always. But I have one question, why do you want to put the motor on this, when you can get a horse and make a romantic evening out of a trip to the wine store? Any way the picture is wonderful, as always.

Wow!! This is a very nice capture!! These old wagons are just full of history. This picture is very well done as always! The split rail fence in the background just adds to the character of this shot! Very well done!
