Hi Patti, I was one of your 10s. I looked at it for a while before voting, just enjoying the light & shadow. Also the strange hints of green I keep seeing amongst the leaves--but when I concentrate on looking closely it's gone. I gave it a 10 because I like the sky & the way the light models the figure of the fellow tossing the handfull of dirt. And because of the way it holds my attention. Interesting to look at. I keep waiting for him to turn around & he seems just about to.

Interesting commentary piece.

Interesting composition and nice sepia conversion.

Interesting shot. I like the monochrome for the most part... just not the sky. I would prefer it without the pink/peach hue.

If those seeds being thrown weren't added in post-processing, then very nice freeze frame :)

I work with farmers in northern lower Michigan so this is a cool subject for me to see here. I like the motion of the dirt.

Good shot. Nice detail and angle.

Wow that is a lot of fields to check. Nice job.

Nice - I think the monochrome adds to it. Eastern Washington? Not sure where else I've seem them use those big irrigation rigs.

I love that you caught the dirt or seeds coming out of his hand

Would love to have seen the color in this one.

the toning works, but the sky is a bit distracting, jmo

A ncie slice of life, interesting!

hmm, i wonder what the crop is, interesting processing, almost like sepia but with slightly different tones, i think this could be improved by boosting the contrast a bit
Post actions
check check... nice conversion, the motive is a bit uninteresting ;)

not enough appeal to score higher, 5

Nice photojournalism type of shot. The sepia really adds to it.
Post actions
I am not particularly keen on the use of colour in the sky - I would probably prefer a straight monotone, and perhaps with abit more contrast. What I do like though, i the strong narrative and composition.

I love the bottom half of this shot. Nice details.

Nice to see him throwing some earth and, although not very clear, I like the water things in the upper part.
Post actions
maybe a little darker would have made this pop more

Neat tones used. I love that you captured the water coming from the pipes and the dirt in the air.

Looks like peppers growing. I like the tones.

Not sure I really like the color treatment of this image, seems to clash with the feel of it for me.
Post actions
I dont like the tones but good subject matter and story.

Has a nostalgic feeling ... like a hundred year old photo, but with a modern twist ... the irrigator. Interesting juxtaposition.
Post actions
Nice capture, lots of details.
Post actions
a little too central in my opinion, the the conversion to sepia does not really work here...
Post actions
seeing more of the man's face would make a better picture.
Post actions
One thing: the comp is too centred - try to crop out the left side
Post actions
Post actions
I wish he were leaning INTO the photo instead of out of it... perhaps a bit off the left would have made this better? I like the processing choice.
Post actions
this first thing i noticed thats the crooked horizen, which is very distracting for me. i like the contrast and texture in the plants and in his jeanas
Post actions
really cool image ... might benefit from a slight boost in contrast, but the sepia tones are perfect ... they give is a nostalgic feel ..
Post actions
I can really see the potential of this shot, just wish you could see his face...

Congratulations on being part of this 1000th challenge on DPC. Keep up the good work!!

I would prefer this photo without the watering device above his head.
Post actions
Nice editing on the color.

Interesting composition, at first the irrigation system was distracting but the more I looked at it, the more I could see how it works with the frame.
Post actions
Tones seem flat and the sky a bit funky yellow.. like his pose though.
