I posted an image of a baler some days ago 'waiting for action' well it is now working, albeit under threatening skies.

Peter,

 

An excellent record shot with great composition, colors and clarity. A perfect picture for a farm calender.

Peter -

 

Very nice.

Very nice photo, Peter,

Is this baler really at work? It appears the crop has already been harvested. I'm not a farmer, and I don't mean to be harsh, but there's a great opportunity here to capture this great machine in action, and this photo appears to be of a brand new, dust-free Baler posing for a brochure photo. The lighting, exposure, color, beautiful sky and framing are very good, so I hate to be critical, but........I'd love to see shots of this grand machine actually bringing home the bacon.

It looks to me like this is about to discharge a bale out of the back end and is collecting the straw from the ground at the front end.

 

A closer viewpoint would have helped show this more clearly.

Thanks, Andy. I stand corrected! I looked on a larger screen; in fact the baler is in operation. Peter, my apologies for earlier comments of the machine posing.

very nice . . . colorful, almost "playful" shot.

i agree with the "calendar" comment
