Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"I've always liked this shot, even thought there is a focus problem, and a slight imbalance in the composition. The light that afternoon was perfect, though. Shot outside the Madison SD Prarie Village antique tractor pull and all-around good time, this was the preparation for the ploughing contest. The train in the mid-gound is an old Arco switcher (about 1000 HP) that pulled four cards full of passengers around the site. The silos in the background are a nice reminder we are in the prarie. The shot could be fixed had I waited another moment for the engine to move about eight more feet, creating a line from the silos, thrjought the cab of the engine, to the head of the farmer. And closing down the shutter would have fixed the focus problem. Maybe next time." 3136
