I confess that I had to lookup the year and model of this truck. I am terrible with identifying car types, and wouldn't have even gotten this one correct without the chrome "Studebaker" label on the side.
I was in Kansas for the week (wonderful place to get photos of very old and run down cars, buildings, and even landscape). I came across the car one day, and saw the sun coming down on it perfectly, so I got out my zoom lens (the car was behind a barb wire fence), and grabbed this photo. I knew instantly that that would be a great candidate for Topaz Adjust.
I hope the voters end up liking this as much as I like it.

Nice composition here and the car's rusty colors blend in well with the autumn background, the light maybe a bit harsh but i guess it was that time of day. Overall a nice photo, i'm not voting or i would have gave it a 7.
I see a shot like this and the way it's processed and I think of Yo_Spiff. I really like the PP, it meets the challenge nicely but it's the colour that does it for me. 7
