thanks to all for your comments

no need to excuse if you do not agree with the result, any serious (or funny) comment is welcome
backfocus - on the first picture i assume - this guy was stumpling around in the soft ground, so my only chance was to take the letters on the thresher as focus layer. Interesting for me is, that the first picture is the one i didn´t want to show, but took it to give an impression of the guys job - i thought its is one of the worse of my series...but you never know
the pictures show the true weather and light conditions, it was for a moment sunny, then light rain and always lot of steam, dust, exhaust, sometimes i had to turn my back to the machines to secure camera and lens and so many people, that it was impossible to find a "good" position. I only sharpened and increased black ( cam is D 700 )

thanks Hoan and Klaus
it is real "old Life" and they need the most of the Lanz 55HP to start the threscher, beeing in movement it runs with 1/3 to 1/2 power
