Default A bit rustic...

Honestly, I want any critique you can offer on this photo. Is the color okay? Could have I taken the photo from a better angle or with a different focus? Was I too close to the car?

Well, allow me to qualify this shot with saying that I dabble in portrait photography, and tend not to take much beyond that. I was at an old house going up for auction to take photos of the place for friends, but this car and the beautiful sky simply begged to be photographed. Tell me what I could have done better!

The colors are all a matter of preference. I personally think they are fine. I do like the angle you chose but the first thing I noticed is how the front fender is almost cut off. Do you have the orginal where it may be further away from the edge?
It might be neat as well to bring out some of the rust and the smaller details, make them more prominet. After all it is an old truck!
