I found this land development taking place in an otherwise untouched native forest. I thought it was an interesting comparison of 'passive and aggressive' conflict between nature and man.
I took about 20 photos of this area. I ended up choosing the above photo because of the interesting depth of field, and the illusion of the grass consuming the machinery.
I was a very overcast day, so the most difficult part was capturing enough light on the subjects to bring out the green and yellow contrast.

I think I see where you're going with this, but you'd pretty much have to have a clear-cut area with stumps and trees to pull it off. Even a gray squirrel or some other wildlife would have helped.
Not enough DOF there are flower that are out of focus. If the DOF would have been more shallow (isolate a single flower for example) or less shallow, (all the plant crisp clear in the foreground with the machine blurry in the background), it would have been a really great Shllow DOF entry. Unfortunately this is a conflict challenge and i just don't see a conflict. (4)
I like this alot. Very good idea. Creative take on the challenge. I like to see photos with meaning that aren't about comparing cameras, film to digital, relationship issues, or what alcohol to consume. Keep up the thoughtful work. 8
The grass is awesome, maybe a tad bit light. I understand the conflict your showing..progress. Ugh always tearing up somewhere. Good luck in the challenge.
