Wonderful color. I read your processing description. I would love to see the original and a few of the steps you made toward this very nice end. You have really brought life to this old ruin.

I love the old truck. I don't love the overly saturated look though.

why did you explain the part about the half? If it is a photo with a good message it should be obvious. Just my opinion though...

I like the color contrasts in the shot. Portions look a bit over-sharpened. Subject and composition are also good. What I don't like is the title - I don't think you needed the part in parenthesis.
