    This is great. Great shot. HDR just really suits grungy old tractors and trucks.
    What I really like about this one is that it has one tractor tyre and one 4×4/truck tyre on the front.

    Love it!!!!! Your artist’s eye finds the angle and your processing makes magic out of what others might see as the mundane at first glance … love it!!!! This is finding beauty everywhere … and you’re soooo good at it!!! Don’t know if you’re queued up for this group’s approval or not, but I bet they’d love this!! Wondrous Workhorses
