REO Truck

[Steve Adkins]

Took a walk today and found what used to be a Red REO truck.
Just a few red flakes left in this eventual poplar prison.
Various blends/opacities/masks of frac, Pixel bender/Oil and original.
All C&C welcome

This one is MAGNIFICENT. Love the work you did. I might want a little less room on the right and a bit more on the left , for the truck to move into , not that its going anywhere.:eek: That is just my personal taste. This is still a super fine image.

So cool Steve!! Good suggestion by Joe. I love the effect on the trees!! Very nice image for the theme and the filter really takes this up a notch! Well done.

Gotta love old machinery in snow...effects are perfect..nicely done

Very nice Steve, love that it is buried in snow and has an HDR look to it. Nice use of frac and masks. I was wondering what it would look like a little bit wider crop, so the bright colors of the truck are surrounded by a larger area of grey trees and white snow.

Hi Steve, you really got a nice look with this combination of effects. Poor old REO looks like it's found a resting place (or is that rusting place?). From the looks of the fender and door panel, red was not the original color! I agree that something feels a little different about the crop, suggestions above sound good to me. Nice work!

[Christopher Miller]

Excellent look here, Steve. I love how the trees and snow have a 3d look to them and how the rust colors of the truck stand out in the bleak winter scene. I think a wider crop would be good. Nice work.

Thanks everyone for your comments! Really appreciate the feedback and it sparked a fun little project...
The OP has very little room for a wider crop so...
Started from beginning with a similar RAW file and expanded the canvas, content aware fill, copy, flip, clone... until I had a pano. It looked OK... but couldn't help myself and ended up going for a 360 view with this "Sleepy Hollow, Poplar Prison" Theme modified mini-world.
