Default Old Farm Truck

Took this picture a few years back and played with it in Photoshop Elements that I'm trying out for the 30 day trial.

Interested in your feedback on the overall composition and any general thoughts on this type of photo. It's cropped from the original and has the viginette (sp?) effect applied to it. I thought it was kind of the old time farm look and found it appealing - but interested to see how others view it.

Thanks in advance!

First, when you shoot something like this and you want the whole truck in the frame, try not to cut out part of it (tires) or shoot from a lower angle so the background is less busy.
Next, if you can, lighten up the tire area so it isnt pitch black. It'll give the photo a bit of life without having black holes in it.
Great looking truck. You had a good idea and great idea to photograph it!
