Challenge:Transportation (Classic Editing) Camera:Sony DSC-F717 Location: A wooded area near my house. Date: Apr 29, 2003 Aperture: f 2.0 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/60 Galleries:Still Life Date Uploaded: Apr 29, 2003
Meeting the challenge
A good choice with a great title.
Composition
Probably not much you could do here with the branches, but something seems a bit off, not quit straight on or at much of an angle.
Color
Seems a bit dull, was this shot at high noon? Possibly some more saturation would help, looks like you had some good colors to work with.
Focus and DOF
Something isn't quite right with focus, perhaps it was oversharpened or overly compressed(jaggies throughout).Did you have a tripod? It can be a bit hard to handhold at 1/60 and still get a sharp shot.
Overall
I like your image and your subject, I think the main distraction is the lighting, a bit too bright. Maybe returning in the evening or early morning would have helped saturate it more.
Fits the catagory well, nice color, composition, and detail. Well done! (Possible critque: Remove the large twigs or branchs at the upper left - in front of the hood and fender - but then again, that may make it look to neat..... I am so confused).
seems a bit too sharp, which detracts from the "old" sort of feel you might have wanted to get from shooting a rusted out old truck. Good choice of subject though. :)
