I was on a drive taking pics with bmartuch around the "thumb" of MI. There was just something about the way this looked that appealed to me... The old wheelbarrow & the car hidden behind the pile of hay.
The old car peeping out from behind the bushes is such a perfect touch! An interesting scene with plenty to keep the viewer interested. There is sufficient structure, provided particularly by the vertical lines of the trees in the uppper half, to stop the detailed scene feeling over-whelmingly cluttered. In terms of the B&W conversion I feel it is very, very nearly there, but could benefit from a little more work, as on my monitor at any rate, there do not appear to be any true whites.
Nice conversion to b&W with good contrast. The scene is very cool with the old and new(if you can call that car new..lol) contrast going on. i do feel the crop is a bit tight on the wheel barrel though.
I wish there was some space beneath the wheelbarrow but other then that it's a great picture.. To each viewer it could represent a new story.. and adore the car..
I love the window in this; someone is watching out of that window, watching as you shoot the scene, thinking what to do, whether to just let you get on with it, or maybe to come out, ask what you're doing . . . I can even see (in my mind's eye) the hand reaching out to open the window . . . excellent, moody scene.
Agree with the other commenters, loads of stories here. My only thought is I'd have prefered a different angle of view (A step to your right and from a lower angle maybe?)
nice image, it conjures up a sense of nostalgia. I would have cropped off the wheelbarrow and focused on the front of the car and the haystack, which is just my personal thing. But, I love the contrast in that part of the image.
I love that wheelbarrow! Works quite well in B&W, and yes, having that car peeking around the corner begs a lot of questions. Nice find, very good capture.
This "plays" like an excellent "peek" into yesteryear! I can see this on a postcard with roughed-up edges and sepia finish for effect, or maybe even a rustic "hand-tinted" approach from the 1920's or 1930's...Excellent first photo! :)
O, BTY! My wife & I "looked-at-each-other" when we saw your user name...We thought you might like to read her blog. angeljoy-hippychick
I think this photo tells an interesting story - makes me wonder what's been going on there, who's using the wheelbarrow for what, and is that a getaway car in the back? Intriguing!
Wow! It appeals to me too. It looks old and grungy, and so soooo photogenic! I love the placement of that old wheelbarrow, it grounds the picture and gives it so much interest.
