Good color contrasts and it does depict the change of seasons as well as the change in style of truck bodies. If this had been taken at a little bit more of an angle to show the side of the truck more, it might have shown that change a little better, but this still works for me! :-) CJ

This needs some help from the lighting engineers, or some arty selection to bring out the colors of either the bg or the truck. On the other hand, there is a kind of brutish presence of the truck in this pristine landscape that might have been lost with more genteel handling. -tv

I think I understand your comment now Jano... a shot of more of the profile of the truck... however, the sun was in an inconvenient place for that shot, and there were other obstacles in the way: shrubbery and another truck that would have hampered things a bit. I do agree that being able to see more than the front of the truck probably would have been nice here.

Very nice, Tony, The contrast of the truck against landscape works well. - RK

looks much better now, the whites look white - a little tweak makes the world of difference. I'm now thinking this is borderline on topic, although I can't decide for sure... - b.c.

Jano: Perhaps this is what your thinking... I would tend to agree, if something like this is to be considered on topic, it should emphasize the truck...

However, I do believe this pic may be off topic either way given b.c.'s new explanation of change... I am glad you like it though! : )

I really like this image... great exposure.. however, i think it may be more powerful if the shot was taken off more to the side to show more of the truck itself to make it more prominent against the background. I think it would show off the rustic change in the truck better. Still lovely image. jano

This one is much better. The whites are white and the truck looks more rustic. -COAmature

Changed the levels a bit... here's a link to the original for comparison.

Great advice... changing the levels a bit really brought out the color of the truck! thanks! Tony

looks a little overly cool colour-wise - as overcast shots in snow often are, especially under auto WB. have you considered adjusting the colour balance a bit to whiten the snow and bring out the colour and detail of the truck? just a suggestion - b.c.
