Bastropjoel: It is a rider, and he is young. I like the novelty of the shot. It seems a bit overexposed, but nicely composed. I doubt it was a staged photo. More an instant opportunity.

Voni: He looks determined. Good overall exposure. Fill flash might have better highlighted the determined look on his face.

Paul: Those two are going to be interesting in a few years.

Thrasherg: Interesting shots, and good ones too. But the contest specifies post "one" good photo so I can't make you the winner.

So, the winner is Bastropjoel.

That was a tough assignment for me. I didn't think I would have an entry. You can't tell by the photo, but he was driving that tractor all over my neighbor's field. I jumped for the camera. At least he didn't engage the pto.

Nice shots, all. I got lucky with that one.

Now I get to choose, right?

Joel,

Gary-
No biggie..... sometimes it helps to look at the top of your screen and see where you actually are on the site, ie: what sub-forums. You're not the first and you won't be the last.

All were great shots and I love sneaky , non posed shots. Great choice on winner. I just could not find an opportunity on this round. On to the next.
