Although I never considered myself a 'city girl', I realized after moving to New Mexico that I wasn't exactly a 'country girl' either. Take this scene at the end of my street, which is very typical of rural NM. After seven years here I still can't get my brain around yards full of abandoned vehicles and trash. Still, I love New Mexico, it is awesomely beautiful!

Processing:
NI cleaning, adjust levels, apply Lucis Art filters Exposure and Whyeth on duplicate layer then erase everything but the truck, selective saturation on truck.

Neat shot, I agree about the junk yards for lawns, just doesn't make sense, but at least you can get some neat photos out of it!

Interesting combination of Lucis Art and regular processing.

I like your post-processing, the trees and sky still look natural but the abandoned truck looks surreal.
