 A couple of trucks parked in the distillery. I love the way it looks as if it is from another time, which is why I added some noise this time around.
I had a heck of a time, my cam is on its last legs :(

Congrats to the other version of this that placed 7th!

Oopd, the use of flash is rather disturbing in this picture. 5

Your other shot "Aged" was soo much better. The light from your flash has washed out all of the interesting colors of the truck's interior and draws your eye to the over exposed steering wheele. No flash, and a longer exposure would have helped with this.

The flash is a bit overpowering. I would like to see this in natural light (a tripod would be required I think). The compositon is good but the light on the steering wheel grabs all the attention. 5

INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE. ORIGINAL. 10

The flash makes this less appealing. Daylight and shadows may be better.

It's always interesting to see when more than 1 person runs across the same exact item to enter for a challenge (see Aged entry). ;^) For sure this is a compelling subject and fun to look at. This version has some issues with lighting as I find it a bit harsh (looks like flash was used). Too much of the subject in this seems to be the steering wheel. 4

Good luck in the challenge.

Steering wheel is distracting.

This is good, and really suits this challenge.....

Like the composition, the colours and the control of the DOF. Fits the challenge well IMHO.

Hi. I love the composition here. The lighting needs a little work - it seems the steering wheel is blown out from the flash (I'm assuming). Maybe if you had a tripod and used a long exposure instead.

Very original; great color

I like the framing and the perspective throught the other truck cab. The light of the flash(?) is quite harsh, though.

I'm finding the steering wheel too overpowering?

Looks v similar (different angle) to a shot called 'Aged' also in this challenge, I'm guessing you guys know each other ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Can see this was taken at the same location as 'Aged' but the steering wheel is over exposed (use of flash?).

I love the composition of this. Amazing how something so old, rusty and beat up can look so appealing in a photograph! Very well done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 02/08/2006 02:11:01 PM
this almost the same as another shot! can you enter more than one?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is almost a great picture. It looks like you used the flash and that has washed out the steering wheel. If I ignore that I love the rest of the photo. But it's really too big to ignore.

The light on the wheel is too harsh for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

would work better in b/w or sepia
  Photographer found comment helpful.

i like the photo, and especially the angle where you can see right through the window to the next truck beside it. What i dont like is how strong your flash reflected off the steering wheel.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

HEE HEE - love this. Maybe the steering wheel is a tad bright, but with basic editing, what can you do? I think you could almost crop it out and just see through the cab's window into the next one and so on.
