I know this isn't a particularly good picture, but I couldn't resist submitting it, just to see what the score will be. It is taken on a sunny Saturday. Me and my girlfriend were driving home from camping, as I spotted this rusted tractor by the road, and immediately this week's challenge came to mind, so I jumped out and got a few shots. I've used the "Replace color" function in Photoshop to get the sky more blue and the grass more green, and I'm not sure if this is allowed. I didn't use selections in the process, though. Other things: rotating, cropping, levels adjustments and some USM.

The colors in this shot are fanstastic! The subject is interesting, and the whicpy clouds in the background contribute to a sense of timelessness. Great shot!

I would have scored it higher but the sky is unnaturally purple IMHO.
This tractor isn't a very attractive photo and I think that is what is de tracting from this piece...The set up is nice. The lighting is nice...It's a little boring though..maybe a closer view.
