Hehe, wonderful shot mary anne.
The angle of the tire makes it for me, looks like it's about to move off in a cloud of dust :).

Thanks for all your suggestions. I agree that it looks better now. Just the first of many old trucks and cars to find a home in this gallery, I suspect. LOL

That is much better, Mary Anne! It looks more rusty now and the background thingy is not so distracting. Good work! ~Sharon

The sky certainly looks far better.

Just quickly scanned the gallery and noticed what is an improvement (to my eye anyway) just from the thumb image. Looks great Mary Anne.

You guys are really taskmasters! I don't know what happened to the contrast in the first one I submitted...this is much closer to my original shot. I think I was trying to show more detail in the shadows and ended up lightening it too much. As for the red thing on the right, there was no way I could clone it out, so I just desatted it and then played with the hue. Hope this is more to your liking.

Yes we could go to more saturation to tart it up but if I know Mary Anne this is how the scene looked & the colours look natural to me & non digital. Well done Mary Anne:-)

I think Sharon does have some good ideas. I'd like to see more contrast myself. It's a great old truck!

This is excellent Mary Anne. I think Sharon might be on to some good ideas to make this even better- great old car.

Very nice, Mary Anne. A venerable old truck, long past it's last legs! What would you think about a little more saturation on this? And I would love to have you clone out the red thing on the right, you did such a good job with the lake! ~Sharon
