Very nice shot!

Interesting subject.  Can I make a couple of suggestions when shooting something like this?

The problem with this kind of situation is the background is quite cluttered and doesn't add to the composition.  One solution to that would be try to throw the background out of focus by using a very shallow depth of field.  Select the widest aperture available on your lens.  Also use your longest focal length and get back as far away from the subject as you can and zoom in till it fills the frame as you have it now.  That will do two things firstly it will help make the background go out of focus.  It will also introduce foreshortening so that you have less objects in the background.

The other suggestion I have is to just concentrate on the details of the tractor rather than the whole thing.  I shot of the just the engine, a single headlight or the grill would make for really interesting shots.

Hope that helps
