Week 4 submission for the Archive Photo a Week challenge.

Took this shot in April 2007. It is an old beaten up truck at my friends' Uncles planing mill in Ontario.

For processing, I used the Draganizer action, and a lot of burning.

Reminds me of one of those "Mad Max" type of movies ... certainly takes it out of the realm of "ordinary." Probably not the way I'd have edited the original, but it effectively conveys a "mood" or "feel" ...

Processing brings out the moodiness of the shot, although I would like to see it a tad lighter. It's fine as is, but this makes me want to explore some of the darker areas and see what is there.

The processing here definitely works. It brings life and mood to the original photo. Excellent!

Processing suits the image well, thats half the trick I think!

VERY COOL! I love the processing on this, and the shot (in this version!).

One thing I'd suggest is try to make the vignette in the sky appear less painted, and more of a gradient.

But this is a winning shot!

Love what you did to the truck! Sky is perhaps a bit too burnt for my taste but I understand your reason for doing it and it does kinda match the mood of the edit.

Love your processing. Love old trucks, and you have really done a wonderful job of accentuating the aged textures on this one.

I like the PP you've done here Brad except for the really harsh vignette at the top. I would prefer a more even and less opaque vignette. It just seems to take a bit away from the great processing you have done on the truck. JMHO.

I love how you've brought out the person in the truck, well done! And I love old vehicles, your processing rocks.
