Burnt out

I took this photo up at our local pine plantation and I just wondered what you think of it.....

Is the image selectively colored or is the lighting just right so you can only see the rust? The rust being so vibrant definitely draws your eyes to it.

It's an interesting shot, but I think I would prefer to see the whole car and maybe more in context with it's surroundings.

It's completely unedited, the light just happened to break through the trees and rest directly on the car. There were trees blocking the view of the rest of the car and if I changed perspective the light didn't fall on it the right way, which is why I framed the shot that way, but I see what you're saying - perhaps I'll take another trip up there and play with some different ways to frame it, so I can see the difference.
Do you think the trees are too dark?
