You should have cropped (or shot it) so that the red machine is completely out of the pic, with the back tire of the tractor right up against the right edge of the picture. Then desaturate the remaining red.

The mountains on the right make this a interesting photo

Very good image with excellent composition, maybe lighten up the leaves at the base for balance, but really it is ready made for information. Graet image.

Geez, it's funny how many different shots I took for this challenge, and how often I see one that is very similar to something I shot! I took something very similar to this yesterday afternoon, but didn't submit it. I like the shot, and the terrain surrounding it! Nice work.

I like the feeling this photo conveys but somethings seems slighlty off with the composition. I'm no expert or anything, but maybe it's the drastic switch between the tree-line and the mountains behind it, or the fact that the red thing behind the tractor, which contrasts very nicely with the green btw, is cut off in the frame. Other suggestions would be to make it slightly less sharp and lower the brightness on the highlights. Keep up the good work.

Is NG border orange, or yellow? I thought it was yellow, but I'm not really sure. anyway, beautiful shot. I love the focus and clarity. Very good detail even in the leaves of the trees. Not all blurry. I think it stands out very nicely on the sky. perfect angle for filling the frame.

I feel this photo is lacking a subject. You need to ask yourself why would a reader pick up a magazine with this on the cover? There's nothing drawing me to it.
