The dead color of this piece adds to a feeling of fading beauty... life of the past. For this one I think you sahould have tried to get more detail, so that the viewer can better feel the subject matter. The contrast is deep and helps with the interest. I also like the slant linear progression, very interesting, just not as amazing as many of your other pieces.

Comment from Orion008


I've been looking for this everywhere; where did I leave it!? The framing works here, but the distant at which it was taken seems to detach the detail from the shot. 20 paces forward would really bring out the mustard yellow and red rust on this piece-Orion008.

Good photo, the detail is very clear. I like the angle at which you've taken the photo somehow it adds a bit to the photograph and makes what could have been a boring photo into something interesting!

Glad I never had to pull one of these things. Very nice compost ition(pun intended). The little bit of color left on the wagon really adds to it. Great job.

Ok! Low a nice shot of some old crap,one can spread that around too. You must be spending a lot of time traveling around to locate these works of art. The weather here has stated to let up so I'll try to remember where the old crap I've found is and post sometime down the line. Nice job!!!

Comment from Christina05


lol Nice work on this one, the colors are very well done, I like the bare trees in the background, it makes this "manure" spreader stand out more in my opinion....Great clarity, the angle is also well done, as it helps to portray a greater depth of field. Nicely done!

Another nice capture of a piece of history. I like the angle in which you took the picture. The yellow and rust adds just enough color to the picture Nicely done.

Debbie, it appears this poor ole spreader has been over worked and is praying. :) I love these ole photographs...has so much history etched in the rust and material, which you so beautifully bring out. So talented at capturing the aura of people, places, and things.

A real nice clear shot, and perfectly centered.. I like the dull background, it really shows your vintage spreader off... lol, spreading LowRiders around.

Comment from MaureenS


I really like the textures and colors in this one. The dry brush in it's muted light tones, sets off the deeper color and rougher texture of the wood on the machine.
