So we're out at the tree farm on a cloudy day, looking for a Christmas tree, and come upon this wonderful rusty old car with barbed wire on the hood (?) and still-shiny chrome trim, just sitting there, driver's door open, begging to be photographed. What fun :-) Didn't really do a whole lot in PP since I took the shot at a skewed angle to begin with.

PP - converted from RAW 3x (light, dark, normal), combined in HDR, cropped, dodged/burnt trees some, colored around top of open door to minimize haloish effect, desaturated cyan slightly, increased overall saturation, cloned out twig in right sky and a couple of white pixels on the car, dodged a little chrome on the side, added border, resized, sharpened with noise reduction.

Not sure what the camera angle was supposed to add.

nice angle. it's amazing (and such a shame) how these cars are left to rot.
