Thanks, Tommy. I appreciate your critique. They're always helpful.
Save for Web always strips the EXIF off. I was handholding in shade... so had to up the aperture a bit to get it sharp enough in the required places. There was no room between the tractor and the wall. ~Lydia

Somehow the coke can fits here. Very nicely composed and exposed. I'm wondering where's the exif. A smaller aperture could have helped eliminate the blur where detail is so important in a shot like this. -tv

Great image Lydia. You sure keep working yourself closer and closer to winning eligible. Although, if you hadn't said anything, I would have assumed you had already placed first in one of the challenges -- AussieDawg.

Thank you, Rowland. It's a 1953 Ford Jubilee tractor. The front of it (painted the wrong color) can be seen in Exhibition: http://www.pbase.com/cslr_challenge/image/93925466
Are you a tractor man? :) ~Lydia

Great image.

Thank you, Barry and Sharon.

"The lighting is perfect as well. " Thanks, Barry... I had an awful time getting the tractor into my studio to light it properly... jk, I did choose the side with the best lighting, I thought... although I had to crunch up against a wall and hand hold to get it. *grin* ~Lydia (PS. I don't really even have a studio.)

Beautiful Lydia,
Like the way the shinny can is contrasted by the rough n' rusty tractor(?) and the red ties it together nicely. The lighting is perfect as well.
