    Re: Amish

    dunno if it's technically correct in every detail, but to me it looks like something out of mid america around the time of the great depression (pre/post) and i really like it.

    interested to see what our b & w buffs think...

    thanks though for a good image...

    :thumbsup:

    Great shot Brain. Hard not to go to b&w with a shot like this. I agree it looks like something you might have seen in Life in the 30's.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Good catch. I like the angle - both of the direction the farmer is headed and the angle of the photographer shooting from what appears to be a low point. It gives the photo an interesting perspective. Good crop and B&W is definitely the right choice.

    I like it also but what is that at lower left of wagon?? Looks like the ears of a cat but if its a cat its a huge one and I don't think a raccoon would be there.

    Left of the wagon?
    I assume that it's a dog.
