Blue Ford Tractor..

This is one of several tractors that my brother-in-law has.   He is a farmer and works so hard.  I never really knew how hard these men and women worked and I am very appreciative of their efforts. 

I am still messing around with textures and this photo was a little over-exposed so I added a couple of textures to try and compensate for that.   Please be sure to visit here for more great mid-week blues! 

Have a lovely Wednesday!

xoxo,

    What a great 'effect' for that photo ! Great idea. Love the blue.
    John Deere should be jealous.

    A very interesting picture for its subject and the special processing you used. It makes a very eye-catching shot.

    Love that color blue...I'm sure he stands out in the field while driving that baby! Love the texture too, I am going to learn how to texture if its the last thing I do. First I have to master photoshop, but before that, I have to master all aspects of my camera...me thinks I have a looooong way to go! hehe :)

    My BIL's a farmer too. Man, do they work hard.

    This is a great shot and the texture really adds to the ruggedness!

    Great you could rescue your pic, which turned out very well with the texture! I don't know how farmers do it -their work is never done!

    My Dad was a farmer. He worked hard too. So did us kids when we were still at home.

    I like your Ford tractor picture. You salvaged a not-so-good picture real fine. I also like the older Chevy parked beside it.

    My uncles (three) and my grandfather each had one besides at least one larger tractor. My father didn't as he only had one tractor at a time.

    Mid week blues. Are you feeling blue due to lack of sun? Or doing a blue project? Loving your tractor. I like when you describe your textures. How is the weather out there on the farm?

    We have lots of tractors in Denmark, but I don't remember seeing a blue Ford! Great MB photo ;-)
