Both are fine images.
Thank you, Dan!
The sunset image is lovely, and not at all cliche. (After 5 weeks in
Maui, photographing sunsets virtually every night, I consider myself
an expert in cliche sunsets.<GT>)
You did manage to discover an interesting perspective in the process.
Photographs of people sunset gazing is something I wouldn't have thought
of -- unless I'd been on a nude beach during the week leading into the
Ms. World pageant, that is.
The tractor image is even more interesting. I like the contrast
between the regular patterns of the silo and the tractor grill and the
irregular ones created by the grass and the saplings. I think it
works very well indeed.
Thanks again! I'll be revisiting that location in the future. It's a
great-looking old tractor and I want to take a stab at some color shots
when the light is better. I just picked a bad day and a bad time of day
to take my stroll.

Hi all,
Here's a shot I grabbed yesterday evening after distractedly looking toward
the horizon for a good 15 minutes as the sun went down. Yes, it's a sunset
photo -- so, I was reluctant to share it here after hammering the list with
flower after cliché flower photo. But, it got a pretty nice reception on my
Facebook page, so I figured, "What the hell?"

And now for something only slightly less cliché: Here's a shot of a tractor
next to an old grain bin I shot on my photowalk yesterday -- which proved to
be less than productive as the sun was just too bright and the sky too
damned cloudless.

Let the heaping of derision commence in earnest.
