I love the way it's camoflauged into the dirt.

The old motor adds great foreground interest against a rugged but beautiful backdrop, good DOF

Very atmospheric... it blends in very convincingly (as if it was part of the natural environment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 11:33:51 PM
Love how it is so similar to the rocks. Looks a bit over-edited in my opinion.

The sad expression on the car makes this image stand out from the crowd. Among best of show.

NICE! Must've taken you ages waiting until it was rusty enough =) hehe... Like the way the ol' cars colors is blending in with its surroundings.

Nice shot. Works well with the rust colored truck vs the rocks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 02:52:12 PM

Great coloring. I love the reds and blues. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 12:11:30 PM
Interesting subject. I don't like how the car tends to merge with the mountain because of the color/texture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 01:28:04 AM
Great color match. The door open looks a little awkward but still a top shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:54:52 PM
Wow! What a find, ho did that truck get there? Must have had some good tires.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:28:16 PM
Great find. Vibrant color and texture, works very well. The car just blends in to the environment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:47:23 PM
Good comp, a little too much red
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:08:52 PM
I like the picture, and I'm sort of split on whether the editing is too much or not. The editing stands out, and, usually, when I notice the editing before the picture, it bothers me. I'm not sure with this one. It works wonders with the truck. Got to think about it ...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:44:37 PM
Interesting how the colors match. Kind of seems to belong there.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 01:37:01 PM
This is a beautiful picture. I hate to see neglected vehicles. Doesn't even seem like it belongs in this setting. How did it get there? Beautiful shot!

03/15/2009 12:02:14 PM
Great find, love the saturation
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:08:51 AM
Nice detail, the old car really blends into its surroundings. I love the deep blue sky.

its also doubly amazing that it looks better than my car!

great color contrast, interesting how the wreck merges with the landscape
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:05:33 AM
interesting image like the colors how the sky contrasts perfectly to the earth tones
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:05:33 PM
Some bold yet effective processing - could be a little over the top in the red hues but I love the composition
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:08:11 PM
Hey! How did it get there? Those colors are nice. DOF gives a pop.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:45:13 PM
Wow. The truck is rusting into the same color as the ground :-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 06:42:53 PM
Great PP job - love the tone - keep up the good work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 04:45:08 PM
Coming back to comment...

Sort of blends right into the background! I guess that's the land of rust, LOL!

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1120 images, I gave 98 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 98, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

I don't know what it is about old dead vehicles, but they seem to be a popular topic for photographs. This is one of the better ones, and I love how the colour of the rust entirely compliments the colour of the earth and rocks. The deep bly sky is a perfect foil for it. Nice job.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

cool HDR. strong composition and nice details all round. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 08:45:41 AM
Nice find. Interesting geology fact #237: the red of the rocks is caused by oxidized iron, ie- rust. Man made or nature made, rust to rust it's all the same. This is very nice!! You are tied with two others for my top score.

I like how the car has taken on the look of the surroundings.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:01:23 PM
The rust really matches the surroundings!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:42:46 PM
Cool shot. I like how the colour of the rust mimicks the rocks.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 01:52:56 PM
A good composition with strong colors and good post processing to bring out the details.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:54:43 PM
I like how it's taken on the color of its surroundings - like it's trying to blend in.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:28:30 PM

great composition good colors, very nice shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:31:18 PM
strange place to find an old truck, funny how the color is the same as the rock and dirt, makes the blue sky really pop, nice PP
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:30:02 PM
I have a good idea as to who took this one! I believe this is probably the same old Dodge I went looking for last summer, only to encounter roads that weren't meant for a Prius to be driving on! :)

Excellent detail, composition and color. 10

Absolutely awesome. Love how this subject blends so well into the shot. Nice sky to contrast with the rest of the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:45:34 AM
Love how the rest matches the soil.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 09:09:39 AM
I love how the rust on the car blends in with the landscape
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:21:09 AM
That rock formation does sort of resemble an old Dodge pickup, doesn't it? ;-)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:16:57 AM
the blues and oranges work well here. The rust of the car doesn't stand out much against the oranges of the rocks, but very nice nonetheless
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:10:30 PM
Reminds me of the "rez" Great color in rock, truck, and sky.

I like how the car seems to be completely integrated into the landscape, as if it too was carved out of the rock.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:41:47 PM
The dust of the red clay has given it the same color as the mountain. Nice complimentary colors with that and the vivid cobalt sky. I like it. Good mix of nature and manmade - yet they all tie in together nicely.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:00:07 PM
Nice find, rusty cars do look cool

03/11/2009 10:34:54 AM
Great shot, the colors and overall sharpness are awsome.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:38:14 AM
Very nice how it blends in with the color of the rocks. Nice detail and drama to. Nice!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:53:41 AM
Great color, like the rust of the car complementing with the mountain
