What does everyone think? I am happy with the shot..but as usual there is always room for improvement.

Usually i think you'd want to see the whole thing or just a focus on one smaller area
however in this it works amazingly! I love this shot and almost looks like its a vignette.
with the back end in the shadows of the shed or barn and the lighting just falling on the hood and front of the body it creates a great frame for the subject.
The only thing I think is a bit distracting are the boards and poles by the front tire...
other than that I really like this photo.

Not bad, except that the picture is a little cluttered. Also, the colour looks a little desaturated and dull.

The abandoned old truck is in harmony with the wooden plant and the cluttered pipes, but, the greens in the background create a jerk in the eyes, as it does not match the subject of neglect and rejection. I loved the subject and the semi bright shot. Did you try other angles? I am curious.

i'd be happy if this shot was mine too.....

i love the lighting on the truck and boards....in fact, i love the lighting everywhere but those evergreens in the background.....if you're not opposed to some editing, cloning that whole bright area out would look amazing....

I gotta tell you I never even noticed the trees in the back! I also like the desaturated look especially in an older subject such as this. I took a second look at the boards and they are still a distraction to me regardles of the perfect fit for the dilapidated truck.
Great shot though....
