She is so well lit that she looks super re-imposed almost. I kind of like it though and it's a lovely background for a wedding photo. Great clarity and detail in this shot - I suspect you take photo's professionally.

The greens look a little over-done on this...can't tell if that's the lighting, or if you slid your hues post-processing. I think it may be the lighting, as it looks a little flat. Nice backdrop...hope the clouds aren't a bad omen :)

Thanks to everyone for the comments...

I originally shot the entire tractor/baler/platform off-center, but it didn't really give the entire scene the perspective I was hoping to achieve. By cropping down to include just the part of the scene in my challenge submission, it brought the focus back to the tractor and enhanced the composition, in my opinion.

As for the comments about the sharpness, I'm not certain exactly what to think. On my calibrated monitors at home and work, it looks fine, but I did notice that at my Dad's house, it brought out more of the effect of sharpening. He runs a much lower color setting and resolution, though, so perhaps that's the difference.

I like this photo but would like to see more of the bailer. Clearly this isn't much of a tractor crowd. You would have done better in a "normal" crowd ;)
