the inclusion of the word in the upper left is a nice touch - but for some reason it seems far too cropped down - i wish i could see all of the tires

I can just hear this thing moving along. I like the sheen on the hood and roof of the Monster.

Like others before me I think the auto adjustment left this a little flat. might bring more life back into it by boosting the contrast a little and maybe dodging the tyres to get them back to black ;) The sign finishes this off nicely :)

It almost looks human -- like it is sticking its tongue out at us :) I love the little hand sticking out of the window. It gives scale to how BIG that monster is!

You remind me that the cartoon caricature one sometimes sees in real life is almost surreal. It is a useful subject and reveals something about life at the time.

Looks like a big truck! I think that the front tires being cropped is a bit distracting but still a neat shot.

That's cute with the tongue sticking out like that. I would go back to your original and skip the auto enhancement and try playing with the contrast on your own. I think that would help the truck stand apart from the dirt a little better.

Are you shooting just jpeg or RAW+jpeg? The reason I ask is the conversion seems a touch "flat" to me and if you shot in RAW, you could try a couple of different conversions to see if they add a bit more depth and contrast. Gotta say that's one interesting looking vehicle, though, and it's sticking its tongue out at us!

I love these shows. I am thinking i would like to see this in color maybe cause they do have great paint jobs. Is the drivers seat on the right side?

The tones and detail are good. I like that the "tough" sign is included. I'm not sure about the crop, though. I think this would be better if you either cropped in tighter, or out a little to include all of the front tires.
