Smile Seen Better Days

Hello,

Looking to get some CC on this image... Wondering about whether or not I should have included all of the truck? Any other tips on what I could have done to improve the image would be great.

Thank you

I really like this one. But I think you're right, I think I would have liked to see more of the truck or the whole truck.

Yes, keep the truck, the whole truck. It's the only focal point in your image. I would have recommended moving to the left some more to try to use the road as a leading line into your image. Shooting in the golden hours is always a good idea.

...or at least the front of it. Like, maybe this one from my photoblog.

Thank you everyone for your helpful thoughts.. I considered shooting the truck from the front, however, it was missing the hood and I wasn't sure if it would be as appealing. Still working on good composition so I am going to try to re-shoot the image on the weekend with the advice given.

Cheers
