Outstanding, Mary Anne!! That machine is capable of mowing down everything in its way and you have emphasized that fact by your exceptional saturation and clarity of the tractor!! shu

We too say goodbye to our farm lands as the developments keep coming.

Many thanks for the comments Nico, Najinsky, and Bob. I'm involved with a group that's trying to protect and preserve our local watershed area, as developers are beginning to nibble around the edges.

I really like this Mary Anne, it stirs up all sorts of feelings. Beautiful peaceful area about to be ripped apart.

Well composed and processed. ~ Regards Bob

Agree with Nico on all points. Well done. I do find the DOF a little betwixt and between. But I'm not sure if I'd take it shallower to make the forrest less prominent (as part of the statement) or have it all in sharp focus to emphasise the strong graphics, so perhaps it belongs just where it is, with hints of both! - Rgds Najinsky

That is one stunner of an image! The natural colours of the forest, the strong yellow of the man-made stuff... and then of course the harsh reality of what is actually happening here. Well done!
