Thanks for the suggestions, folks. I've never really made my peace with winter "exposure" so I thought I'd try a bit harder this winter with RAW. I may try the shot again with the FA135, which will isolate the tractor better than the 55 upper end I had yesterday. It's interesting that I felt the branches framed the shot and for that reason I tend to shoot that way. I'll definitely try it with a bit less clutter.
