 This was originally going to be my entry for the Out of Place challenge, but I figured it was literal enough for everyone to get it. Plus, there was some spot editing that I wanted to do. Hope it does well.

cropped, adjusted levels, saturation, contrast, dodged/burned the clouds, resized, USM, submit.

I would suggest cropping this to eliminate quite a bit of the sky (it's not adding anything to the image) and to make the car larger in the frame. I'd try cropping out about half the sky and a similar amount on the right of the image.

The sky seems a little over processed, which brings down the quality a little. I can see you were trying to make the clouds more storm-like, but the white areas look overexposed and are the first things you notice when looking at the image, as the eyes are usually drawn to the lightest area of an image first. The processing has also affected the trees and given them 'halos' around the branches. The color of the grass is good and green. The placement of the truck is good.

Strangely saturated colors in those clouds - makes it interesting. The colors overall are interesting. - 7
