Too much going on in this picture to make it enjoyable for me. The brightness of the trees over powers the lowrider so you don't see it very well.

In craftsmanship, the biggest strength in this peice is the contrast, it's heavenly.

But more than anything, the artsmanship is incredible. The subject matter of this photo ties to ancient memories gone by, and the viewer's imagination starts to weave stories of the past, recalling memories lost.

Comment from Hollie


I like you old crap photos :) This one seems A little lost though because of all the blending surroundings and the light is a bit to bright , maybe a different angle of it would make it pop out more :) But i always like your old crap photos :)

It must be really enlightening looking for old crap LowRider.....and to come across something so old and looking as though this could tell a few stories and yet what a shame to see such destruction of an antique cart.To find these items on your travels must lift your spirits....not the ones in the bottle petal..lol.Excellent work.

    LOL!! Seriously, is such a different world to me when I go hunting 'old crap'. I see such incredible character in the piece, like stepping back into the calmness the world was once. Thank you very much Sim!!
Comment from Papa


LowRider, interesting and very appealing subject matter and this image is well focused and well exposed, although the light is a bit harsh. The more significant problem by far, as I see it, is that the image is so very crowded. The tractor, logs, building, and other elements, especially the busy background are too much for one photograph to handle, in my opinion.
Peace, Papa

Comment from MaureenS


This is a very interesting subject, but it gets lost in the background. I think you might have gotten an interesting shot by getting low to the ground and shooting upwards. That would eliminate the background busyness and might make for a good composition.

Comment from Bob Boynton


You might take a bit of a beating on this. This two row planter is a relic for sure. The background here is competing with the shot. What appears to be a camping tent in the background is the wrong color of green. Keep 'em coming. Bob

    What happened to the tent? I saw the planter tonight without the tent.

Good morning LowRider, i wanred to go through your book and give my opinion, you do not seem to mind my opinions hehehe This piece is a good piece, the light washes out the subject and too much back ground. But as always an awesome subject.
