 Delivery truck side guards; battered, bent and rusted.

Boosted saturation a little. Added a black and white high-contrast layer @ 20% opacity to give the black and highlights a little punch. Dodged the deep shadow some to bring out some detail.

No crop.

Nice angles and textures...hope the voters think so, too!

Good shot but a bit over bright in parts for me.
