I like #2 and #3. Perhaps a little too much contrast in #2 for my taste. Love rural photos.

I really like # 3. I think I would like the pitch forks in color though. They get lost in the background IMO. Do they have rust on them?

Nice BW loved them

Thanks...

There is rust on them, but I took these photos in B&W on the camera (D200) and then tweaked them a little....may too much in some cases...LOL I'm just waiting for spring to come along and then I'll have some good subject in my garden :) Like from last year...

:agree

Classic B&W rendering - strong graphic elelments with little detail - just nice black and white area with little tonal gradations.

Great B&W appearance as from the 30s or 40s.

Thanks everyone. See...this is my problem when it comes to photography. I'm artistically and compositionally challenged! :rofl I almost deleted #3 because I didn't think it was very interesting. I tend to think about it from a technical point of view. Maybe that's because my job is technical and it spills over into my photos.

I'm working on it though. Seeing other's photos give me ideas...so I try new things now and then.

Yep, #3 is a winner. The light, the background ... aso.
Great shot.:lust

Love the saw blade pic. Great use of poor lighting.
