Rusty Old Shot-up Stove

I would have considered taking the shot from a lower point of view thus eliminating the distracting foreground which the stove seems to blend into.

I like this..... Especially the dents, likely from bullets in the back area of the stove!!

Another great idea Tex. Thanks for sharing the idea. As I said on the Rickety Old Farm House, I'm going back out there. And when I do I'm going mid-day so I can capitalize on more and better light. And I think I'll give your idea a go. Plus I think I'll be bringing some filters with me to get some separation between browns and golden grass as there are other shots in these negatives that have buildings blending into grass where they shouldn't even with a nearly horizontal sun.

Thanks Andrew! Coming from you that's rather meaningful to me. I got emotional about this shot. Kind of in a small, very small sort of way like Jesus with Lazarus. The vibes on this property are ... well shall we say that when I read the stories about this ranch there's a part of me that wishes they didn't deed it back to the state so that I might actually have an opportunity to purchase it and run it myself. I wish I could revive these structures, maybe for the reason that I'd like to see this ranch in operation. It's very surreal out there. Carrizo Plain is a world of its own, considered the Serengeti of North America, it is completely lost in time and isolated in all directions equidistantly.
