Most interesting combination of simplification plus the sepia effects. I wouldn't have thought to combine them in this way, but it's perfect for the subject. And the composition is terrific. #3936667

Melissa G. Meiselman February 11, 2007

Wonderful scene beautifully presented in the sepia tones, Steve!! It looks like a very old photo. Great job with the effects!! #3936679

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett February 11, 2007

Just a side note, Melissa, the framing for this shot is a digital representation of the metal plate used as frames in photography over 150 years ago

Very nice, Steve. Great effects.
Where was this taken? Not often you see hay brought in that way anymore. #3969796

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett February 21, 2007

Hi Larry ... this was taken at Old Sturbridge in MA ...I remember as a yougster bringing loose hay in on a wagon such as, this ... but was horse drawn .. not oxen #3970896

Larry Scott February 21, 2007

My dad used to talk about helping his dad plow with a team of draft horses in Texas, where we grew up, but I never saw it, just some of the old gear laying around. We have a draft horse fair here in Nevada County, CA every year that's really neat, with pulling competitions, etc. Fun to see.
Keep up the good work! #3972254
