Default No Trespassing - I think

Okay, I tend to take very random photos. Some I like and some I don't. Below is one such random photo that I do like. I realize I a to have a specific question for this forum, but I really am simply looking for advice to improve. I would love some feed back on things such as composition, color (I did some minor WB tweak), focus, and even subject.

One specific I guess would be the border(ish). I used a large dithered brush to draw around the image and then set the layer to overlay. It darkens it up just a tad. Does this help target the tire or just complicate the image? Thanks!



Camera: Nikon D7000
Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 240 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off, Did not fire

why not try color range to select just the redorange letters and fill with tire color.

Interesting shot, though I really think the brush in front is really distracting. I want to reach into the frame and push it aside!

Very crisp shot. The quality is really nice.

I could, but I kind of like the old lettering on the tire. That was part of what caught my eye.

Yeah, I thought about trying to move the brush in the front, but I had my good clothes on and it was on the other side of the ditch. I will take your "Interesting" as a complement. :-)
