Thanks for the votes and comments. I appreciate the input.
This is our 1951 John Deere tractor going uphill(the fence posts on the right are level and true to the horizon). I thought it looked like the past because of the surroundings and age of the tractor. I was standing on the second from the top fence rail to get the shot because I wanted to show the hill in the foreground and to be looking down on the horses instead of up at their behinds!
I enjoyed framing the shot the way I wanted it...instead of cropping after the fact. Good Challenge!
I am not sure that I understand a couple of the comments.

I'm curious what this represents - if it's from 1951, it couldn't be shot well today.

You should have move closer !!! nothing interesting in the lower part and upper part. I would have increase the contrast. Yoou should have move to get a different point of view

The tilted horizon bothers me a bit, but that may have been intentional? I like the sepia tone.
