 I saw this truck parked up on my way home one night, I was trying to avoid a traffic jam on the motorway so took a rat run down a road i've never been down before. Took 3 bracketed shots (hand held) and converted them to HDR in Photoshop, then to B&W, tweaked and sharpened.

Thank you!! What do you think could have been done to make this a seven? Could the composition be better? Maybe I overcooked the post processing (in hindsight I think I did). I've often thought about going back to take another shot at sunset when the sky is clear.

Greetings from the Critiques Club:

I remember this very clearly from voting, evidence that the image has impact. How could it not, it is a very bold composition with the truck looming large in the frame. I think you were to right to the potential in this particular vehicle, the array of lights fascinate. I just noticed the location, I would never have guessed this was a British vehicle - an even more remarkable find.

I'd also never have guessed this was a multiple image HDR, that's good, you've kept it subtle and all the more effective for it. Your choice of toning is well made, the slight brown tint echoing the inevitable rust.

Overall I think this is nicely seen and nicely made - I gave it a 6, slightly above your overall score.
