Not bad.
Low on the contrast, it doesn't have the 'pop' but is well exposed nonetheless.
Your choice of selective blurring of the background is reasonably good - takes some of the distraction away. It feels as if the image is tilted clockwise somewhat - but that could just be my perception.

I'd rather see the image posted in the thread, everyone else manages to do that.

Contrast look good in my software... I have noticed this too..,
As far as the tilt...look at edge of the house on the right.. it is stop on. BTW, the land was being graded, so it was not level to begin with.

Hummm...
Seems like after my ACSee Pro 3 update. the Preview shows a good correction, but after I save it, the saved version is a bit flat....I had to use another program to kick the contrast back up.

Do you not have space in the gallery?
Or you could consider donating to up your attachment space.

The reason I said It was preferable to have the image in the thread is that it makes it easy to look at the image and see what others are saying about it.

Yes, I am planing to after the holidays...I typically don't make multiple thumbnails of different compressions. Plus there is over 2mb in images I can't delete. I'll try using imgwide tags around the link until then...

Last version looks oversharpened to me.

The roof of the rig he is driving is distracting as you cropped the top off. It would have been preferable, IMO, to either include it all, or get in tighter and try to eliminate that horizontal.

No Change in sharpening, just contrast...Will work a bit more on it.

I think it's crying out to have much more of the machine in the shot and to make the much smaller in the frame, there's no sense of scale.
