An old steam tractor found in Echuca, Victoria, Australia. Unfortunately had to shoot leaning over a fence so composition was very limited but I was eager to enter a submission again after so long.

A good metal, but needs another composition, I guess..

Looks "Obsolete" - hope you took 2 shots of it. ;-)
Nice job for this challenge as well though.

Awesome. Love it. Out of your control, but a bright blue sky would have been great!

Pity the front wheel is clipped from the photo.

very interesting object. might have been better presented with a more sophisticated composition. a bit more contract would make more impact

What a find! Surprised this isn't in a museum somewhere! Exposure in the background (trees/sky) is a little hot, but this is such an interesting subject.

Black and white might have worked quite well here because of the cloudy sky...

Judging by the tracks on the ground, it still moves, too! remarkable.
I would have like to seen it further away from the building so the roof line was shorter that the top of the vehicle. Would have helped it from getting lost in the building

I like the composition of this photo. Cool old engine, with the tin shack in background. The colors work well, too.

I like this subject very much. In fact, you could have used it for the "obsolete" challenge. To make it more impactful, I would have cropped the picture taking the sky out of it.

A tighter shot on parts of this old tractor may have been interesting submission as well.
