 Since these rear-end spoilers only have a measurable aerodynamic effect on vehicle handling at speeds above 100 mph or so, it really has no place on a pickup truck.

Handheld, exposure compensation -0.5, RGB tone curve for contrast, Rlue curve to improve color in the sky and on the truck.
Cropped, USM run twice, borders added.

The elements in the background are distracting and take away from this great view of the truck.

Even lighting would have also helped. Find a shady spot to photograph it under.

You're ready for the NASCAR Truck Series now. Nice paint job and color. I might have cropped the photo at the bottom not to include the bumper.

Perhaps a wider shot would have helped. Nice colors.

Mini whale tale. Neat looking truck. I do feel the crop is a bit too tight on the sides. However I will say I like that you got down for this shot. Also the lamp post is a bit of a nuisance.

Good shot, only the lateral crop is strange.
