 This is my work truck parked in front of one of my favourite places, the old haunted house. I was hoping to have the truck a bit farther up the driveway but the gate was locked. In the end I was very happy with the composition. I like the fence leading into the shot from both sides as well as the framing element of the trees.

I like the shot, hope it does well

I used to drive a 54 Ford dump truck. so the front end of this truck looks very familiar. The truck I drove had the flathead V8 in it. Most of the panel delivery trucks like the one in the image had the straight 6 flatheads, which tended to overheat and crack between the center two valves. I still have an overdrive 3 speed somewhere in my barn from one of these.
That's a fine shot, and the two subjects compliment each other well. Having the truck away from the house was a good move, as it kept things in porportion in the pic.

I really like this. The colours work for me ad the contrast is good. I am not sure that the house looks very old but i guess that is being picky.

I have grown to love that house..the truck adds to that 40`s look. Iwould like to visit it in person.

I kinda wish the truck wasn't in the picture, or that it was as delapidated as the house.

I think the house is more interesting than the truck, yet the brightness of the truck demands all my attention.

I like the house and i like the car, a good combination of old things.
