The sky was intentionally made whiter than the original to emphasize the vehicles at the bottom and also to make the image more dreamlike. IMO, a nice blue sky with fluffy clouds does not say dream.

I can't tell if this is overexposed or if my eyes are just having trouble picking out detail because of the really bright sky. The large amount of negative space wouldn't feel so mis-allocated if I could make out more features in the bottom of the image.

My sacajawea's on the behemoth three from the right. I like the negative space because it signifies the epic struggle between nature and john deere.

An odd dream setting but cool in its innovative unusual presentation.

I usually dream of TVRs, but everyone to their own.

To me, the sky looks to be a bit overexposed and could do with a bot more detail.

Very, very funny! I'm still enjoying it at my second look. (I used to enjoy the nomenclature when I was playing around with racing: In stock cars "okay boys, wind 'em up;" in sports car racing, "gentlemen, start your engines") So for old times sake, not to mention the humor, at least a 7.

I think I would have liked this one better if it had bee cropped just above the trees. This wouls have made for a looooong photo but I think it would have looked realy neat. As is there is to much sky for my taste. It dosn't seem to enhance the photo or to serve a purpose. Otherwise great idea and wonderfull shot.

I love the negative space in this. That would be a very ammusing race. (probably more of a construction derby, pardon the pun)
