comments (24)
And I am first...yippeeee...Love. Nice one. On a farm?...........ok..not a farm? Staffordshire!
Richard Trim: Yes on a farm in Staffordshire. Its a hill farm that relies predominantly of arable grazing. cheers richard
Looks like wall-e's big brother or father. Notice the wide eyes??
Richard Trim: Ha ... nice interpretaion Mroy. cheers richard
the yellow pops at me here
Richard Trim: I did use a suggestion of saturation. richard
I like the saturated colour you're using here Richard
Richard Trim: Well er umm its a sort of umm tentative steps at using potent colouring pencils Chris. richard
The tractor looks like was born here and been here forever. With such a lush background, I wish you went with a panoramic view for this, say to the left.
Richard Trim: Damn .. Why didn't I think of that V. thanks richard
Looks like blissful retirement for this workhorse. (:o)
Richard Trim: ''Hey keep your voice down I'm having a snooze.''
Thanks Ros'. richard
Looks like a face on the front of the machine Richard. Where abouts were you when you took these shots??
Richard Trim: it certainly does Tracy ... We parked the car in a village called Onecote and walked from there. I'm checking out the name of the farm with the animals wandering about. richard
I like this processing. Well done!
Richard Trim: Many thanks Jose. richard
What a lovely retirement spot for the little yellow fella to enjoy the remainder of his days
Judging by his scoop, I'd say he's been chasing a few stationery walls.. ha ha
Richard Trim: He did wink at us and raised his scoop just a tad ... cheers Paul. richard
If this was a JCB it could be a comment on the state of that company. I love this Richard.
Richard Trim: I gather they are struggling a bit Bill. cheers richard
Love the over saturated colours here
Richard Trim: I was a little concerned that I had overdone the saturation ... but it seems not. cheers Mark
Love the way the yellow digger seems so at home among the buttercups.
Richard Trim: Happy little fellow isn't he. Cheers Ian. richard
It is as blind as some cats eyes I know, Richard.
Richard Trim: Damn it Chad ... you just couldn't resist that could you. lol richard
Looks like it's been here for ever. The countryside seems to be full of these rusting hulks - there are quite a few round here. Nature has a way of getting everything to finaly blend in.
Ingrid
Richard Trim: Yes nature seems to win in the long run unless humans throw chemicals at the landscape. richard
great color with that blossom
Richard Trim: I think some of it is Hawthorn blossom Chantal. richard
I love it Richard. It seems being naturally part of the landscape! Cheers. Richard
Richard Trim: It certainly seems like that Richard. thanks richard
powerful contrast and colours rich!
Richard Trim: little bit of saturation DRaw. thanks richard
At first site I thought it was Thomas the Tank Engine or somthing like that. But what a photographers dream you found instead. And you have done it justice. Beautiful photo.
Richard Trim: Many thanks Sheila.richard
I love stuff like this, Richard! it has become one with Mother Nature!
Richard Trim: You mean they are 'an item'. I think that's the contemporary parlance Ginnie. cheers richard
surprised its still there seeing the price of scrap metal just now
Richard Trim: Ok Ok tim ... Is your real name Steptoe? ;-) richard
For all the JCB fans thisis actually Massey Ferguson. Just thought I would set the record straight!!!LOL
Richard Trim: Don't mess with Tracy ... she knows all there is to know about rusty old, helpless, rundown, obsolete bits of farm machinery. You have been warned boys
There that should shut them up T'. richard Ha!
Lovely saturated colours Richard, and well seen. A farmer friend of mine has loads of old vehicles like this spread about his farm, don't they ever repair them instead of buying new ones. Poor old farmers!
Richard Trim: Yes it's strange how they just leave them scattered around their farms when they have given their last gasp. Cheers Brian. richard
What a shame this gets dumped but perhaps it provides homes to various creatures in the fields.
What fantastic colours Richard. Looks like it has done many hours hard labour. Like the eyes and bucket mouth. Well captured.
