Reminds me to one of my favourite movies: The magic of ordinary days, they had a similar truck. Great composition and very well collection of broken - anything I look at here is broken.

Another image that should ribbon! Very sharp, wonderful DOF, and you put a lot of thought into the perspective and composition, I can tell. I like the broken glass in the top left, too. Hope to see this on the front page.

The alignment of truck in truck window is perfect, and the colors are great.

One of the best shots, well done!

I like the tunnel effect. However "Aged" doesn't necessarily mean broken, but in this case, this vehicle isn't going anywhere. Good job.

Great shot! The windows of the trucks pull you in and then you notice that the building in the background lookes "Aged".

It's always interesting to see when more than 1 person runs across the same exact item to enter for a challenge (see 'Boulevard of broken trucks' entry). ;^) For sure this is a compelling subject and fun to look at. The lighting in this version is much more appealing, natural and not harsh. Good job on bringing out the details inside the cab. This angle/composition works well as the building to the left has been eliminated and therefore the distraction removed. 7

Good luck in the challenge.

Hey - what is it with the trucks. This one is better though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/09/2006 07:19:28 PM
great shot...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/09/2006 01:18:31 PM
Well, I've seen this spot before, but this is a better picture. The other one had a strong flash which washed out the steering wheel. You didn't do that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great capture. Amazing depth of field here. I like it just as it is.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/09/2006 06:23:32 AM
this looks like almost the same photograph as someone else has entered. i think it's the two same trucks...anyway, i think i like this angle better.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 12:39:22 PM
i think i saw this one twice?? but this one is the better one...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
02/08/2006 07:32:25 AM
I like this...Definitely speaks of brokeness. Some field in the background or a
broken down wooden shack would have been great (yeah like you were going to move these buggers :-D.. Wel done!

The best photo in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I like the tunnel sense of it. I might play with the saturation of the red on the middle truck - maybe play it up a bit. Nicely done. 8
