You can see from the smaller original that a great crop was applied. The two elements I wanted to show were the radiator and the leaves.. Some work to remove background distraction was necessary.

Looks like you really got the results you wanted. Good work on picking out the interesting part of the tractor and bringing out the detail. Posted: 07/06/2024 18:26:23
Pretty unique subject. The great sharpness and color of the photo that was achieved from the original shows off the fine
lens and camera. What were the settings for this shot? What camera and lens was used? Posted: 07/10/2024 17:41:30

The camera was the Sony RX10 4. 200th sec at f8. The metadata says focal length was 16mm which is wrong since my camera only opens to 24mm. Not sure what that's about. Now that I look at it again, I wonder why I didn't move in closer in the first place. Could be the ground was very muddy. Posted: 07/15/2024 12:32:14
I really like this, but I do have a love of old farm equipment. Good job on the cropping and the tonality gives a feel for age and shows off the green of the ferns. I find the blue window frames a bit distracting. Posted: 07/12/2024 18:15:56
You can't get me to believe that this was actually cropped from the original showed. That is really an interesting subject and I like that you show ferns growing out of the engine. I would see about de-saturating the blue and red in the background. Posted: 07/19/2024 17:07:22
It is a perfect cropping which leads me to think about "Back to the future". It might represent the history of the family. Foliage tells the story. You are also a good storyteller with images. Posted: 07/21/2024 03:58:03
