"Prairie's Struggle and Hardship" (Saskatchewan_83F6129)

Small town in Saskatchewan that has been abandoned and is slowly being

reclaimed by nature. Thank you for viewing and critique.

Hi George I do very few comments these days - I tend to rate. I find it hard to put into words how I feel about a photo. After looking at your wonderful image I came to rate it but find only words are required. So hear goes - Six / Seven - Pure Quality - Love the Depth - First Class.

Very good. I particularly like how the main lines lead the eye from the edge of the image to the center.

Hi George.  I love a number of things about this image.  I like that you have not chosen to show the entire tractor, and how you used the front lift arm as a leading line into the shot.  I also like the way you have included the derelict buildings in the background, and allowed a few small parts of the tractor to overlap some of these buildings.  This really creates a sense of depth, and also reinforces the idea of decay in a prairie setting.  The detals in this shot are also amazing!  I was in the Winnipeg area for 2 weeks, and saw nothing like this, but then I could not spen a lot of time shooting photos as we were visiting with my wife's godfather.  Great work.  Congrats.
