Stunning! Your best work by far! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="
The composition shows how well low focal length, to make the "in your face" effect of the main subject. The harsh split horizontal would normally become distracting, but having the subject so big only leave a bit of it out, letting the viewer get the little detail needed to understand that this is a horizon.
The coulours from the bottom part of the picture dive in to the tractor blending it together with the sky, because bits of sky pop through the windows, making an abstract edgy blending, accompanying the overall shape and theme of a tractor.
The burned down polarized sky matches the average value of the bottom of the composition as well.
Shape wise there is an interesting repetition happening between two squares. One is the hood of the tractor while the other is the blue sky through the back window of the tractor that blends the composition even further.
Excellent technique, excellent colours, excellent composition! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b… " width="15" height="15" alt="

Hi I collect olivers and saw this on google images, I just wondered if you had any more pictures of the tractor, I really like the old olivers. They don't have to be artistic like this one. If you do can you email them to me. Thanks a bunch

It was actually my first shot of the day but the sky was too overblown so I edited a little in photoshop. Basically I just turned up the sharpening a bit and the toned down the noise. Then I used the burn tool on the sky to give it more of a polarized effect. Then I used the dodge tool and brightened up the darker areas on the tractor and a little bit on the grass. That's pretty much all I had to do.

Thank you. It is truly impactive. The composition is perfect and the colours are subtle enough to give an almost "artist rendition" whilst retaining the photographic quality. You should be really please with this one.
