Default Interior of Old Truck

This is straight from the camera:
Old Truck I



This is post production:

Old Truck II

The shot was interesting to lighten the interior and deepen the washed out colors of the trees. I shot the picture in RAW and adjusted for the windows and for the interior and then combined the two...I used smart filters. I don't know what else I can do? Any suggestions?

Nice work!! I'm not sure there is any more you can do. I'm no expert in post work though. I especially like what you did with those trees. Keep up the good work.

I like the way you brought the colors out in the door of the truck. great job. Are you able to go back and shoot it again? Reason i ask is prhaps go back and try this again whent he lighting isnt so harsh outdoors and try to get it without the sky being blown out, you'll also get a nice glow on the dash

These two pictures clearly illustrates the power of RAW. Good job.

Really nice work! The detail you brought out in the door panel makes this photo a success! My only concern, same as Windrider, is the blown out sky. Other than that, cracking shot and post pro

good editing
next time, if the situationis similar, try using some fill flash to brighten up the inside and then expose for the outside
raw ftw

Great subject....I think I might go all out and change the background entirely to something a bit more interesting and then add a texture or three but thats me...im a post processing nut!
Love the shot and think you really made it a keeper....

You are so right! I took this mid-day in very bright light. Morning or eveing would be much better. The truck is about 80 miles from my home, but I could try it again if I am up in the mountains at a better time of day....
