 Photo taken while traveling with only a work laptop available for editing. Used Photoshop express on-line to edit (very limited tools). Had very little control over final compressed quality. But, the best I could do with limited resources.

Just got home and took a look at this photo on my home computer. Yuck! I have learned from this to skip entering any image that I did not process on my own system. Plus, the composition is really poor - partly the result of a hurried shot on the roadside, plus the sunlight coming from the wrong direction, plus obstructions from other equipment nearby. The other part is due to poor judgement on my part. The poor score of 5.09xx at this point is probably too generous, but appreciated.

Great find......my eye is really drawn to that darned phone pole. Try cloning/patching that out and see what you think.....6

Real nice subject but the composition could be better.

Cool looking old tractor. Details seem a bit jaggy. Might be an issue with the resizing to challenge size.

Doesn't actually look that decayed to me, but it's very bright and I may be missing some detail.
