 I've driven past this combine several times... this time, I decided to stop. While the light is wrong - it's coming from the west rather than the east, I still like the results for this challenge. I'll have to stop again some time in the future; early morning would be ideal.

Desaturated/sepia toned with HSL feature in PSP8.1. Hue to 15, Saturation to 30, Lightness to -15. Played with contrast adjustment, but felt it emphasized the blown out portion to the top left. Resized in two steps for submission, then sharpened.

Enjoy!

Doesn't really hold my interest. Sorry.

I love it when trees grow right through things... I found an old train trestle once in the middle of seemingly nowhere that had a huge tree grown through it.

This is great... love it.

Wow, the tree is actually growing up between the equipment? You're not joking with the picture title then!

In the tree growing out of the metal is a little distracting
