Good photo. (I'm being frank - NOT to offend) I like the subject very much; the angle is good. Perhaps a bit tighter crop. I do like how the horizon line is blended. Yet, there is something that is not working for me. I have been putting off the comment - but keep coming back to the thumbnail. The image is attractive - catches my eye - but I think maybe the lighting is off a bit - but not sure if it's good or not. So I'm torn on what to say...All in all a good photo - 7

Nice colour and item and good that it's not straight perpendicular to the camera.

excellent work with the lighting and background preparation for this shot... a little extra depth of field to keep the entire truck in focus would have worked a little better for me :) good shot ... - jmsetzler

Evocative image ... nice and simple - (I would have touched out the hair on the ladder, though!)

Good shot but DoF is too narrow. Front and rear of the toy are both slightly out of focus. Good light and subject.

The lighting is a bit flat, i might have tried some other sources with a longer exposure to really make the truck "pop" .... besides that have you noticed that it looks like hes got a big surf board on top of the truck? Ronin -6

This is an accurate and well done portrayal of something old. A darker background and sharper focus to the back of the truck would have been better in my opinion. =6 syamjonimi

Almost a wide enough focal range (tad more would have helped). Challenge well met. Framing is O.K. Intersest is a tad low (maybe a match lit, some small fire, some red lighting, that sort of thing might have helped). Started you as a 6, but it's more like a 7. Swash

A nice macro.

I like this, but I think it could have done with a bit more depth of field, if that was at all possible, or if not, perhaps less, and just focusing on a particular element of the toy.

Old toys...so interesting ! You took this with a great b/g and crop. I would like to see the back end more in focus. More so since it's such a tight crop and single subject. Still..nice photo. Shiiizzzam

A wider focus so the back of the truck is not out of focus would be nice.

Front and rear if the truck are blured.

Nice choice. Focus is a bit soft on the back part. Good color, lighting...
