First, I like what you've tried to do, juxtaposing the old relic with the new office building. From there the photo goes rapidly downhill. The tonality for B&W is terrible, the image is flat, not particularly sharp (and, in this case, that's a detriment), lacking in detail, and poorly composed.
The tree branches are useless, adding nothing to the photograph, and are intrusive, diminishing your clever idea. There's no detail in the tire (or whatever that blackish thing is) at the lower rightof this this old farm implement. The blades of grass just run together rather than showing individual stalks, and the detail on the old machine is there but not clearly discernable. What kind of film did you use? Who processed it? How many other shots did you take of this scene? How do the others look? I'd suggest redoing this one, or going back and shooting at least an entire roll or more from different angles, maybe at a different time of the day. This looks like you saw something, jumped out of your car, walked over, and made a quick snap or two. I wish I could be more positive about this one, Dave.
