I really like the way you've set up this composition. How many times did you walk around it looking for the perfect shot? :-D There is good color and clarity and the poor old thing looks a little lonely sitting there...

Great color against the snow, good focus and nice lighting. I like the subject, a good find. I liked the overall presentation, and cute story to go with it. :)

LOL What a great pic, love how you captured it in the snow. Really great close up, the focus is perfect, sharp and the clarity just perfect. Great job. You know what they say about drinking and driving....

How on earth did you come across this, very well spotted. Beautiful composition, light and subject. A still life if the objects weren't so big.

Thank you for your wonderful review andy! I just took a drive up in the mountains, probably to about 13,000 ft., never know what ya going to find!

Comment from AsherDe
I believe this is one of your better shots in your forgotten series. The muted tones and bold color of the tractor make this shot live. Clarity is superb, as usual, and I can not fault the quality in any way. Very nice.

The lighting and focus are perfect here. A little more space on the right may help with better DOF here. It also makes me want to see the details I can't, such as the side view. It is a cute and creative story.

I like the looks of this one. Especially the way that the colors contrast so well together. And your compostion, the angle that you shot this, could not be any better. Very nice shot!

Comment from MAROUT
I love this shot! It makes almost 20 years since I have seen a crank start tractor like this one. It really makes you wonder what did happen?!
The lighting is awesome, and the shot was taken at the perfect angle. I really like this one.

Yep, I haven't seen a crank, other than looking in the mirror, for about 30 years. This was taken up in the mountains here in Colorado, I was thinking it must have rolled down the mountain--Thank you MAROUT, for such a wonderful review!!
