I am a sucker for old autos in fields, and this is really well done.

Great shot.

Great subject. I think this composition is a bit literal, however. This is the type of subject that can benefit from a more unusual POV. My choice would be to shoot it from a lower vantage point to exaggerate the curves and give the truck more of a looming, grand presence. If you wanted to accentuate the abandoned quality you could try framing the shot so that the truck was a much smaller, lonelier presence surrounded by an expanse of grass and sky or if it is surrounded by overgrown brush than you could show more of that. Another creative approach would be to take a close-up shot to capture the texture and color of the rusted blue paint, including some sort of contextual clue like a headlight or the hood ornament. This is one of the subjects that you can explore for a really long time if you have access to it.

Cool old California truck, but I wish the red wasn't so strong in the lights, because it keeps sucking my eyes away from the rest of the image. A bit less soft could work here, too. The tall grass in front of that wheel and wheel well would even make a nice image by themselves.
