This is a great picture. It is weird how the car is soooo rusted, yet the headlights are so clean.

Thank you all for the kind and helpful comments! I was very lucky to find that car while on my drive around the east coast. I didnt plan on entering the challenge, but it called out to me, I'm obsolete! :-)

I took a few shots where I moved the foreground weeds out of the way, but then noticed that I liked the photos with the weeds much better, added to the obsolete feel of it, as if it has been engulfed by nature....

Again thanks to all for your votes and comments!

Like the angle and the DOF. Nice touch with the weeds in foreground. One of the better abandoned auto images I've seen.
