Re: Geso Old Fashioned Threshing Bee
Hi Don: #2 is great for composition and exposure. Great job at maintaining the exposure with the fire. Love #3 for the composition. The man left of frame draws you in and into the rest of frame. I'm intrigued by #8. I like the verticals right of frame and the wide view. Yes, and the mules are fun like Ann said. I prefer the color over the black and white. Nice work.

These are wonderful! I especially like the bw renderings. That (almost) black sky really makes the clouds pop - very dramatic! Love the subject matter, really evocative stuff.
