I shared this photo of Dad and Seth last week on Studentstock's photography community on Google+ and it got picked as the photo of the day! This is the second time one of my pictures has been chosen as photo of the day(the other one was Ashwin's eye, the cover photo for Whisper).
Since it had done well on Google+, I decided to enter in a Rural Lifestyle contest put on by StudentStock.com. I got fourth place!!!
I titled it Side by Side.
Here's what one of the moderators had to say.
"Lauren's description states, “Father and son plowing with old fashioned equipment”...where she really captures the moment. This photograph describes an actual event on a farm near the forest. The father and son pass each other going opposite directions on two tractors in and out of the scene. A yellow tractor moves toward the viewer with the driver looking back and the green tractor moves away from the viewer with driver looking in the same direction. The left side wheels of each tractor are elevated on slightly crowned grassy ground whereas the right wheels are lower in the already plowed mud. Because both tractors are tilted away from each other and their passing large tires just miss each other, there is both an element of humor and clear need for serious concentration as both drivers lean slightly to their right to keep their eyes on track. It is an overcast day. There is a forest of cottonwoods with a few aspens in the background....life on a farm." -Geoff

Now onto this weeks photos!!
I always wondered how people could get pictures of birds. They move so fast! I was never successful at it...until my siblings filled our yard with bird feeders. Now instead of only seeing a blur of motion, I was actually able to get some pretty good shots!
The boys built feeders that are attached to our window sills, the cat is having a hay day watching all the birds :) I've never really liked birds much, but I have to admit I am enjoying all the activity...our yard has become a bird highway. And I'm never adverse to anything that offers some great photo opportunities!!
I can't decide between the robin and the woodpecker pictures for a favorite this week. What's yours?
