[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sun up in my neighbors pasture. Bill tells me the old truck just died right there many years ago. He walked home (not a short distance - no cell phones at that time he said and laughted). His wife said it could stay there, she did not want it in her yard anymore. Bills, wife passed on recently, so I made him a Christmas card of the old truck. He called me after Christmas, cried a little and said he framed the best Christmas card he ever received. Made my heart fell good.

Thanks for looking in.
Larry

Hi Larry.
I like this photo very much. This is a very interesting photo with a potential. Very nice composition and colours. I tried to do a workshop. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.

Well composed Larry with the old windmill and the tight cropping. It's nice when people appreciate your work.

hi Larry, nice nostalgic picture. It remainds me of my trip do Nevada (Death Valley), where are cars cementaries. love such places. about your image: nice composition and colours but of course I'd like it to be more sharpened or contrasted. workshop from bisok looks overcontrasted but definitely, it's not the perfect exposure. good luck in the future :)
ps. I like your US style and themes you show us.

Hi Larry,
this is an excellent picture to. I like the positioning of the elements in the frame and also the light and colours. Additionaly through the telephoto choice the hills beside the main motive came closer and give a very nice background.
Well done
Thomas

howdy.
looks like scene from a john steinbeck novel.
you have captured the moment perfectly.

your notes made this even more special.

(tmx has hit the nail on the head; quote 'I like your US style'. spot on.)

Bonjour Larry,
on voit souvent cela dans les prairies en Belgique aussi, certains roulent encore, d'autres pas.
Une photo terne mais qui a l'air 100% naturelle.
regards.

Hi Larry!
I like your subject! I like the way you describe old USA.
It is a pity that the picture is not sharp enough! But I like horizonta shape, both in the subject and in the picture

Ciao from Italy!!
