This old truck must have been resting in this field for decades... rusting away

Greetings from the Critique club

Very interesting subject.

There are a couple of things I'd like to comment on.

The crop is not helping the image be presented in the best way. Was the background, where the hay bales are, really nasty? Is that why it was cropped out? If not it needs more room at the top.

The angle is not too interesting. I would suggest giving this more interest by standing more towards the leading front fender, make it look longer.

Because the light is just a little flat a bit more contrast would help.

Possibly a conversion to sepia or some other duotone would also add interest.

A subject with a lot of potential.

too bad it's dead. It's a great truck with a lot of character. Excellent shot. 8

Unless there was some reason for cutting this picture down so low, I would've given this beauty a little more head room. It seems unnaturally tight on top.

i like the concept, but would've liked to see just slightly more space at the top

Very good.

should have been sepia or b&w

Good idea

This shot has potential. There is something missing. I like the rustic feel. Maybe you should have included some of the backround to give a little more of a story to the picture.

I love this cropping ! great to look at. Perhaps more exposure would have given it more detailling.

I really like this shot, but I think I'd like it even better if it wasn't cropped so close to the vehicle, seems a little tight on top. It is an interesting vehicle though.

its too tighly cropped. leave the old workhorse some room to breath!!! HA, jokes aside I like the subject of this image though.
