I am a sucker for old autos in fields, and this is really well done.

Great shot.

Great subject. I think this composition is a bit literal, however. This is the type of subject that can benefit from a more unusual POV. My choice would be to shoot it from a lower vantage point to exaggerate the curves and give the truck more of a looming, grand presence. If you wanted to accentuate the abandoned quality you could try framing the shot so that the truck was a much smaller, lonelier presence surrounded by an expanse of grass and sky or if it is surrounded by overgrown brush than you could show more of that. Another creative approach would be to take a close-up shot to capture the texture and color of the rusted blue paint, including some sort of contextual clue like a headlight or the hood ornament. This is one of the subjects that you can explore for a really long time if you have access to it.

Cool old California truck, but I wish the red wasn't so strong in the lights, because it keeps sucking my eyes away from the rest of the image. A bit less soft could work here, too. The tall grass in front of that wheel and wheel well would even make a nice image by themselves.

What in the world are they holding in their hand? This is fun to look at. It's interesting to see how the people in the background have moved their attention to the next group in the parade. This might have worked a little better from a lower angle?

And where was this taken?!?! It has a lot of blue in it, even in the background-its cool.

dang, if only I could put my legs up like that...good picture, background is a bit too busy, it probably would look better if the background was "faded" out or very out of focus. Otherwise, good pic.

I'm not much for receiving or giving comments, but since Candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to give comment on every entry in this challenge.

This is ok. Wish I could kick like that. LOL...But, in these types of situations it is more performance in category to me then a candid. Although it is a candid, it is just not that unexpected or a capture of a moody type moment from someone unawares. That is what I particularly look for. So my score of a 4 is based on technicals only.
