    Beautiful comp and exposure Len! I however so wish that the transition between grass and hill was soft. This hard line is kind of creating a split frame. Not end of the world.....still beautiful! Cheers!

    I love this one for the contrast between old technology and new technology. Well done.

    Thanks Taz. Not much choice re the split line as I couldn't get closer (fence) to the wagon and to back off would leave alot of empty forground.

    Now that Tom has pointed out an angle that I completely missed, new vs. old tech, perhaps the more solid split works!

    I think you captured the contrast of new vs old technology very nicely. Good eye! B&W is perfect here.

    I like the framing and juxtaposition. Nicely seen and composed. I wonder if it would be possible to make the wagon stand out a bit more from the background. Not too sure how to do that without an insane amount of work. What does it look like in color? headscratch.gif

    The b&w complements the contrast between old and new.

    Well done.

    Terrific shot. I know what Richard means but I liked the fact that my eye was drawn to the top and I didn't notice the wagon for a second.

    Thanks guys, (Richard, Willard & Don). I see what you mean re the wagon and it's background. Regarding color, I believe this image has much more contrast and impact as a bw. I'll work on the wagon background.

    Here is an adjustment: A little more foreground space; lightening of foreground; less sharpening; somewhat less contrast in foreground. Let me know what you all think, and thanks for the suggestions.
    Best, -Len
