Meeting the challenge
A good choice with a great title.

Composition
Probably not much you could do here with the branches, but something seems a bit off, not quit straight on or at much of an angle.

Color
Seems a bit dull, was this shot at high noon? Possibly some more saturation would help, looks like you had some good colors to work with.

Focus and DOF
Something isn't quite right with focus, perhaps it was oversharpened or overly compressed(jaggies throughout).Did you have a tripod? It can be a bit hard to handhold at 1/60 and still get a sharp shot.

Overall
I like your image and your subject, I think the main distraction is the lighting, a bit too bright. Maybe returning in the evening or early morning would have helped saturate it more.

Fits the catagory well, nice color, composition, and detail. Well done! (Possible critque: Remove the large twigs or branchs at the upper left - in front of the hood and fender - but then again, that may make it look to neat..... I am so confused).

it would look better if you would have removed the branch from in front of the hood. 7

A real fixer upper. Could be more saturated.

I like the warm tones in this photo. The growth in and around it give it a great 'being reclaimed by nature' feel.

great composition, colors and exposure are excellent, and the theme is great. It seems a tad over sharpened... but I really am enjoying this image.

Very nice picture of this old has been. nice focus, placement and exposure. I do not find much wrong here. Good luck in the challenge.

seems a bit too sharp, which detracts from the "old" sort of feel you might have wanted to get from shooting a rusted out old truck. Good choice of subject though. :)
