Nice shot. Nice colors, and a beautiful sky, which always helps. My only thoughts about this would be that it might be even better if you were just a little further away, as the machine is just a little dominant for my tastes. Also, if you were slightly to your right, you could have not had the machines in the background being directly behind the main machine, but adding another element instead. All in all, very nice work.

What an interesting antique find! I concur with Darren, a slightly different angle would have allowed you to frame more of the other machines as a next layer of interest, after the main one.

I love the composition here and the way that the old machine dominates the shot creating a fantastic foreground...Very well done..

nice photo, despite that the subject is in the middle. Perhaps i would have taken it from an even lower viewpoint, shift the object to the left, so you also don't have the dark fence on the left, which i think can be left out on the pic.

J'aime beaucoup le contraste que font les nuages avec l'avant-plan. Bien rendu le métal de la machine.
I like very much the contrast which make clouds with the front-plan. Made well the metal of the machine.

A lovely rustic shot Philiipe, reminds me of a bygone era, it would be a good shot for sepia, give it a timeless quality, you can almost hear the horses pulling ploughs in the field.

Belle composition!

Farm implements make for some interesting subjects. I think it might have been a bit better with the subject a bit more offset, but still nice.

Great composition.
The colors are also very vibrant.

J'aime bien la nostalgie qui se dégage de cette composition qui fait partie de vos anciennes contributions. La lumière est belle et le métal rouillé donne des effets satinés assez intéressants. Bel effet de perspective sur l'outil. Joli cliché !

Etrange machine toute rouillée ... La compo est bien vue ainsi que le cadrage. Belle découpe dans le ciel , et idée originale.

Bravo

Philippe
je revioens sur tes premiers posts..celle-ci m'a attiré l'oeil..surtout les dents de la machine..
3 ans après, aurais-tu tenté un cadrage décentré?

ciao

Bonjour Philippe,

La prise de vue rapprochée permet de distinguer les détails de cette vieille machine agricole qui est prête à dévorer le terrain. L'image est claire et précise. La lumière valorise les couleurs. Bonne journée.
