Took this today. Didn't really like it, so I messed with the colors and I guess it's okay now. What do you think?

The question I always ask myself when taking a photo is; "What am I taking a picture of?" The answer to that question for your photo probably was, the flat tire. Other than the tire, there is nothing to look at in this image. There is very interesting light on the tire, and this could have been a great picture if you had filled the entire frame with tire and made the composition pleasing. If this wreck is nearby, go out there at the same time of day to capture the side/backlighting and try again.?

i think if he took a pic of the whole tractor, you would never notice the flat.. and thats why he's making the tire its center of attention..

but i said to myself.. what does he want me to see? then i notice the tire. its not the greatest composure.. thats for sure.

if you took the pic in a 3/4 shot, with the tire closest to you, and the tractor in the background, it would of been much better. you'de have the flat, noticeable bullet holes, and a badly, weathered, aged, tractor.
