Tractor Shed

Contributed by L Hamby

I took this picture in my great-grandfather's tractor shed. I just saw the plates on the wall and took a picture. I did a curves adjustment, a sharpening filter, and a color correction to really make the plates stand out. I also cropped in to take out some of the distraction in one of the corners.

I really like your composition. Lots of angles and textures, and the definite flavor of an old shed or barn. Good job.

I really like this photo, I like how it is very earthy. Even the metal license plates that normally might have a sheen are very dull which keeps it in harmony with the rest of the image. One little thing that might add a little to the image would be if the plank on the left was a little darker, or maybe contrasted with the yellow because my eyes want to stay mainly on the right side of the picture and top middle...It is though, a great picture!

I really like the sense nostalgia I get from this image. It is a good composition and with lots of great detail. I agree that the wood at the left is too bright and distracts. I would like to see it in b/w or perhaps it might be a good candidate for a b/w with selective coloring on the Alabama plates. Good job getting out to an interesting place to photograph.
