Colors are a bit splashy, but I love the POV.

Good subject. I don't like the perspective. Also the flash lighting? has made the grass look a little off. I would zoom out and show this beauty in its surroundings. Give it a sense of being abandoned, left in a field all alone. No vote just comments

Good angle & perspective.......the light source is slightly unusual. The tractor really doesn't look so much abandonded as parked. Then again, I work in a John Deere dealer in central Pennsylvania, so this just doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary to me. 6

Strong colour, good light and POV. The detail on the machine could have been sharper, but I guess that's the trade off for keeping the grass with the right amount of crispness.

Nice angle on this shot. It is also very sharp and a great idea for the challenge - 7

I like the angle of the photo here. Very refreshing, as opposed to the normal eye level images we often see. Color saturations is very good. Border is a little heavy and distracts a little bit. You might see a few lower votes because of this. Focus and depth of field is great! Would be nice if something was going on in the sky, but we can't control the weather. Image looks a tiny bit over processed. Fringing and artifacts along the top edge of the tractor, around the steering wheel, and at the edge of the rear tire, distract somewhat. However, still a very good photo. I could see this in a gallery or on the wall in a restaurant in the mid-west. Nice job!

I think giving this machine a wider frame with more open space would heighten the feeling of abandonment. Right now it's hard to tell if it's really "abandoned" because it lacks context.
