Comment from Wolfdancer13
I love that old vintage stuff., especially tucked into this crop of rocks with the green foliaged backdrop. The varying lines of this historical method of transportation are intriguing for the eye to take in, as well as a resourceful reference of how many got around at one time. It's a shame your lighting was so bright when shot, for it really takes away from the dramatic capture of less dominant lighting that would have pulled the eye in, instead of reflecting out, and would have allowed us to see more detail found in the workmanship of its structure. I also might have been apt to crop the piece to draw the central image closer in. Despite, an unusual and creative capture to frame with your lense. Fascinating subject.

An excellent photograph denoting that simpler does not mean easier. Much of the 3rd world countries are still in the "simpler" life, just trying to exist. Modern technology has not made today's life simpler, but has increased the struggle...balance of life and nature still goes forward. I like the exposure, clarity and impact of this wonderful photo.

Everything is fighting for the center of attention. Too cluttered, the lighted background pops forward. The background needs be blurred out.
The pole is distracting. Look for other vantage points.
In the future using a lower f-stop to select your point of interest would help.
Don't ever get discouraged....we learn by our mistakes.

I really like the composition of this picture. It is well balanced and your subject is interesting, expecially the way it is ringed with the big rocks. Nice work.

Comment from pbjchef
I like the ideas you capture in your pics lowrider! I see a lot of it in my own pics. The fact that this way of life doesn't exist for the majority anymore but there are signs of the previous struggle all over the place. Not to get ona soap box but everytime I see a deer hit on the highway or hear someone complaing about having totalled their car from hitting one I think to myself "what other choice have we given these animals?" We have ripped thru their natural habitats to make room for our own, these animals aren't out "running errands" they are searching for FOOD AND SHELTER. Okay I got that out! lol!

What's the line from that song? "The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me..." That is the first thing that came to mind when I viewed this shot (bless Ozzie for being in my head this time of day!). Great capture of times past Lowrider!
