One tractor - two views

[rlemert]

As an old farm boy I'm a sucker for tractors. We could never have justified one of these babies, though, because we had a lot of orchard crops and this would never have fit under the trees. Still ... .

I tried to convey the size and power of this little guy by going low and shooting up. I think the first image is more powerful, but I would like to get feedback from the community. Which do you think is the better picture - and why?

(These are from the camera-produced jpeg, and I've bumped up the brightness a bit to bring out more of the tractor. I do have the Cannon CR2 raw files as well if anyone wants to play - or can suggest processing that I might want to try. Part of my reason for going to this event was to practice and learn - so I could get better than the five percent keepers I've got going now.)
