Comment from Louyeaux
Love the colors in this shot, very muted/desaturatd. Gives it a classic look, perfect for the subject matter. Would have liked maybe to see a closer shot, maybe to show-up some more detail on the apparatus. Overall Good work.

Thank you for your great review and your time reviewing my work lou!!

Comment from Mark Dean
This is outstanding.
What makes this really work for me is that the photograph has a very desaturated look to it. This emphasizes the yellow and brown tones on the farm thingy wonderfully.
Nice Shot : )

I like this LowRider I think that at times a lot of people could use one of these. Never even heard of anything like this before so I learned something new today. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Marshalldtk
Very interesting. What is it? I like the yellows and oranges on this adding the color to an otherwise grey scene. You've done a great job with this one.

Thank you so much Marshall!! It is a cow manure spreader used to fertilize crop way back when--

Comment from Lusitania
The way you show this old pieces is superb. And always you comment with humor and great storytelling. And this shot is no different in quality from the others I've seen so far. Here I would say that I like very much the way you shot the subject and the colors surrounding it.

Comment from phototreker
Very nice picture. I love the conrast of the light and dark rust and the wood of the spreader. This has definitely seen better days and speaks of a time when life was much simpler.

Comment from howdy5
Another nice piece of crap Low. Also congratulations on winning reviewer award. Really like the old rustic look. Coloration, focus, center of interest impact also probably a lot of stories in the past.

Comment from davideyoung
The focus and lighting are good here. I would like to see it backed off just a tad to give a better sense of DOF and some breathing room on the left.

I hope your hubby meant he wants more of you, but then the man would not get you all to himself any more. Of course, the rest of the world would be luckier for it ;)

Thank you very much for this great review Echo!! Yes, used to spread cow 'poop' over the growing fields, such as a corn field, to fertilize the crop.
