It looks a bit painful with all those spikes :) I love the simple color scheme to this - the yellows draw the eye in nicely. And that touch of green at the top left provides a bit of "still alive" to the dry background. Another great job!

Love the two-toned color of the rust in comparison to the blandness of the field. Nice composition and use of the frame. Very interesting piece of old farm machinery.

All Right! A fertilizer applicator, pile it high and spread it far and wide. You have done a good job of locating and photographing another piece of crap. I would imagine there are a lot of organic gardeners that could get some use of this. Bob

    Yep, seems like somebody could get some use out of this, just a lot of grease, WD-40, and a hubby to pull it! Thank you so much Bob!!

Good Morning, LowRider, Debbie thinks this piece is great she says the lighting is great and likes the dryed brush, and the antique look, personally I think she likes it because it touches the "little boy" in her. hehehehe, I think its the touch of colour.

LOL. Geeze that thing looks like some kind of medieval torturing device. Ouch. I like how the small spots of rust stand out so brightly. Great work LowRider!

You do have some shots of some interesting historical equipment! I like this, though I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the surroundings for context, maybe moving in a little with a wider lens. This seens almost documentary to me. Love the iron wheels! :-)

Comment from Iondrion


It's funny how the rust has a yellow tint to it, almost mustard in some areas. Methods are perfect, and subject matter has lots of character. Good show.

Comment from Caladh


Great subject of course. Good composition. I'm studying about color schemes, and I guess this would be monochromatic or something. It works. The touch of green and gold are good. Good lighting to show its form.
