Tractor

Old tractor at Piano Grande
Added to Cream of the Crop group as my most favorited.

I've got an old score to settle with this pic - maybe Deleteme can clear it up. I'll explain later.

Awesome. :) I like how it doesn't intrude on the horizon, and it fits the hill great. :)

If the tractor was a focus make it so this photo looks like a landscape that went wrong when the big G drop threw a tractor at you as you pressed the shutter.

This pic can't decide whether it wants to be a great landscape shot or a great tractor portrait. Succeeds at being neither.

The colours aren't very impressive and the composition isn't good too.

This looks like a bad snapshot.. The colors are too flat and its not quite clear whats actually the subject of the picture...

It is good at the first sight. I love the tone. But not too much content here, the tractor is not quite right for the mood.

I love the faded quality but the tractor going off the picture looks uncomfortable. I would love to see the rest of the tractor to know what I am missing and if it needed to be chopped.

Ok schizoo and B.G. commented simultaneously and only one tagged. Folks this is on D'me 9 so I'll add tag No 9 and the next lucky poster who goes for the Delete gets to finish this off.

Thje colours in my opinion are great - and the tractor+land tilled by tractors is reallly cool... but... you shouldn't have cropped the tractor hitch off.

There are a lot of "hangers on" here voting deleteme because the person before them did - you've taken a better shot with this one than a lot of them ever will.

I may have abstained on this one for the crop before, but giving it a save to contradict the frivolous deletes.

Interesting how many consider the colours great (even contrasty)- i find them horribly flat.

Schemie Radge says:

Hehehe... I enjoyed that.
That is my most viewed, most faved most everythinged picture.. and I never liked the bugger. The only thing worse than people hating a picture you think is good is people loving a picture when you don't understand why. I thought it hadn't worked.. and looks like I was right!

So there tractor... it's official... know your place.

lol I know this feeling: why losing time trying to make a real nice picture when a snapshot made with foot is so exxciting for so many people?
