I prefer the before

Nothing wrong with the after, I just like lighter delicate images.

The first with a gradient overlay, orange to white brightened and low opacity would change the shot completely.

Love it! If anything, maybe the after is just a bit too saturated, it's pretty bold in colors. But I think that works for a certain look. It's all in what you're going for. Good job!

Love it! I think a grungy texture would complete it (that's just me though :P)

I'm big on color..so I'm all for After too...nice job...LOVE the truck! I think this photo would have alot of charm if she was dressed vintage too...maybe a hat, gloves and a purse..something from the same era as the truck...just a thought...nice job!

This looks great. Seems like you have increased a bit of brown in this picture. The after one seems to have more depth of field
