Hi Pablo,
There is a lot of action in this picture, but did you also add a grainy texture to add to the farm-theme?
B&W is more artsy, is that what you are after in your new theme?

Hi Pablo
Excellent "action" photo. I don't know if it is the soil shooting up but it is quite a spectacular pic. B&W works very well here with the grain effect and the oversharpenning added. Well seen and good pp work.

Hello Pablo,
This is a fine addition to your b&w portfolio. THe graininess adds to the concept of hard work for a farmer. I like the partial showing of the tractor with the rest covered by the dust. Best regards, Danilo

Hello Pablo
I presume he was wearing a filtration mask!!
This bold contrast summarizes strongly the essence of agricultural spirit: A tractor moving soil, followed by a cloud of dust.
Not a description but an ambiance!
Best regards.

Hi Pablo,
Great capture. The image works in b/w, maybe more than in full colours. I especially like the contrast bw the dark back- and the sunny foreground, plus the grain, it fits to the photo well. Great work from You again, my Friend. Greetings from a country still without the first snow this year, László

Dear Pablo,

Your idea is innovative and the grainular presentation of the blown particles are looking great in natural illumination. Wonderful shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Excellent conversion Pablo. Lovely tones and the foreground graininess adds so much. They still harrow down here in Tasmania but the farm I worked on back West had what they call dry seeding, the seed was blown into the ground under pressure (the furrow was the depth of a matchbox on ist side). TFS,
David

Hello dear Pablo, this is very good subject for b/w imho.
Great composition and close-uup.
Also, the cloud of sand is perfect, shot at the perfect timing and its good that it hides part of the tractor.
We feel sorry about the poor driver having plenty of sand in his eyes :)

Take care, Yan :)
ps: Many thx for your review on "Golf Course, Chateau Bromont".
