"Retired" Tractor

Dancer72

I haven't given up on the retakes of the antique hay rake, just needed to switch things up a bit, so I processed a few of this well respected tractor. C&C most welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Hi Caroline,

You better watch out. Once the RJ disease sets in, you're a goner.

I'm not sure what the issue is with these shots. They seem to be OOF for sure. Over-sharpened? maybe. Cropped too much? maybe. It could be you were after this effect but I think the main subject should be in much sharper focus.

Take care,

Tom

Tom:

I was actually wondering about that myself. I think I'm gonna strip them back down to the RAW files and reprocess them to see if they come out any different. I'll post the revisions hopefully by the end of the weekend if you don't mind taking a second look.

Thanks for the feedback - I really appreciate it!

Hi Carolline
I have to agree with Tom on these. I think the OOF tends to reduce the effectiveness of the hi saturation (which we all urged you to go for)
I think this tractor is worth reshooting for better focus. I am amazed to see a "dually"
setup on such a small tractor. Wonder what it was used for.
