Congrats on the new 2nd best on your top row! A beauty of a truck - and the tight crop works just fine - creates a good strong composition. Keep shooting!

Thanks for all the nice comments, it wasn't HDR though... The tight crop is because there is a skating rink and an apartment building right behind it. I wish it was open and rolling fields, but I work with what I got... :-)

great color and detail. the color range suits the weathered subject well. nice hdr. the shooting angle gives a good sense of size, and the grass around says "parked forever".

Great old truck and the grasses growing up around it add character. The current crop doesn't show anything in middle distance - I'm intrigued to know if there was endless rolling country that might have added to the sense of abandonment - or maybe there was something there restricting the possible angles of shot.

I think the crop here might be a little too tight it feels a little crowded.

Nice and ominous. Reminds me of a movie about some horror truck I once saw. Nicely executed image with equally nice processing.

Nice shot. Something about these old beat up cars/trucks. Nice saturation.

Great composition, I love how big and powerful the broken down car looks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like your perspective and composition. I took a shot of an old truck a few months back, and tried a photoshop action called draganizer on it... i liked the results. I think it would look good on this shot too.

Even without it though, I like this shot.

Nice shot. I like the post processing although a little dark.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great subject. The low angle gives this truck and "idol" perspective. I like the contrast, but wish it weren't quite so processed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:08:16 PM
composition is a little tight in my opinion, but i like the processing and mood.

good POV, but crop is too close (at least at right. Color treatment created a nice rustic look.

I like the effect created by the puffy seed heads in the brush.
