A threshing machine or a thresher is a piece of farm equipment that threshes grain, that is, it removes the seeds from the stalks and husks. It does so by beating the plant to make the seeds fall out. Before such machines were developed, threshing was done by hand with flails: such hand threshing was very laborious and time-consuming, taking about one-quarter of agricultural labour by the 18th century. Mechanization of this process removed a substantial amount of drudgery from farm labour. ( Wikipedia )

I made this shot last summer, during an exhibition cq demonstration, and with a bit manipulation of the colour.

I too like the editing and the coloring John. It give it a sense of being hard to see due to the dust from the threshing!
Excellent composition.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

A scene that can hardly be seen nowadays, John.
With your excellent way of editing you've emphasized the nostalgic feeling.
Very good job, my friend!
