I took this in rural Kentucky. This reaper was sitting in front of a house along a country road and caught my eye. Taken in color, converted to B&W in Picasa, and I filtered out the reds to get a darker sky and lighten up the grassy areas to give more contrast with the reaper. I also used a polarizing filter to darken the sky.

What do you think? How could I bump this up to the next level?
