There are a number of things I like about this: that sense of soft-focus, which chimes with a common perception of 'old' photography; a strong sense of the textures and details produced by ageing; strong compositional principles, and a strong balance of interest. Wha it communicates to me - and what, I'm afraid, i don't like about it - is that there's some kind of glory in that previous age, that its decay and left-overs, that so blight our present (and to be fair, that our present is currently bequeathing to our future), is really rather pretty and lovely, rather than sinister and regrettable, which to my mind is the more apt reaction. Great shot, with that reservation.

I really like your treatment of the subject with the sepia and romantic blur. Something about the composition gives it a portrait quality.

I like this but it probably would have gotten a higher vote from me if it were in color

Very nice. The softness really makes the shot, especially with an old rusty truck. Bumping to an 8

softness lends to the time passing message, like the composition and overall weathered look.

Sepia tone gives this a nice time-gone-by feeling.

Excellent use of sepia tone. It really makes the picture. One of my favorites.
