Farming in the Old Days

I'm not sure if it is soft focus or just out of focus, but the picutre is not hitting it with me. The use of a non-solid border is also dropping my pleasure in the picture. I do like the use of duotone, it works with the subject.

Although the subject is well framed and in focus, the DOF setting causes the horizon line to be blurred which is making the entire picture off because my eye gets drawn to the horizon.
Perhaps if the picture had been taken from a different angle to exclude the horizon with just the green of the field as the backdrop, or a high DOF change (if possible) to bring the background in focus too (though that would probably still draw the eye away from the subject).

What are you looking at?

Great picture, I think if the chickens head had been turned slighty more so only the left eye was visible(but not a full on side view), and the tractor removed it would have been perfect.

A beautiful picture, I wish it had been of shot of only the house and lawn without the canopies.

I like your use of humor in the title and the panoramic-style cropping,
