    Default Old Truck

    Taken during my last tour to Arches and Canyonlands. Had to get low in order to hide a few buildings in the BG.. Processed in Photomatix (3 exposures) and then in PS. Knocked down to 57Q to fit.

    Nice colors and I like the composition. The truck fits the grunge look well. I might evict the small halo (very slight) around the top of the truck and the fence in the back. Nice work.

    Awesome colors, Roman!! You gotta love those running boards. One of my favorite subjects. Your HDR processing handled the bright sun and shadows very nicely.

    Nice job Roman. The colors on the truck and sky look great. Can't wait for our next trip to do grunge HDR...

    Love it Roman! These old vehicles (and even bicycles ) make great subjects for this treatment. This looks to be about a 1935 Chevy... I especially like your wonderful sky in the background.

    Very cool looking truck, Roman, and nice HDR treatment. I was wondering, why do old trucks make such good subjects for HDR?

    This is an interesting and colorful rendition of an old truck. So I understand and appreciate the complimentary comments that have been made above.

    Still, I would have taken a different approach to this image. I would have applied post-processing techniques that in a more natural way would have emphasized the innate qualities of this aging but most interesting truck.

    Sorry to be the loner here, but that's my view. For me, the colors are a bit too garish for the subject.
