    What a photo. Good subject, exceptional focus, infinite depth of field, can even see texture of various materials.

    Of course it is those three little guys in the back, on the right, that actually did the harvesting and loading.

    You will probably find the switch is for hitting the ground and snakes - sugar cane is a absolute nightmare for snakes hiding in it, and it doesn't look like they've burnt through prior to harvest (as is done in Qld Australia) - so the snakes can be quite close to the harvesters feet... switches/sticks, and cane-knives are your only defense.
    nice narrow gauge lightweight railway in there as well.

    Actually while it might be a technically good photo it is what I would call extremely racist. If you were a black person would you see anything worth commemorating in the photo?
