Nice HDR. Would make a great commercial shot. The toy says it all. At least this truck gets used for it's purpose and not only to survive potholes on the tar roads

Interesting choice in processing.....5

Very interesting edit , overall I like it. Some of the haloing is a little distracting though. 7

really great PP i like the effect you created

To the front left of the truck there are some spots where the snow is light instead of dark, and a little at the back right too. Sorry just looking for something to point out in your picture, it's very well done!

Pretty nice but a bit too many halos.
01/26/2010 08:11:51 PM
the lighting and focus on the truck is really well done, the muted tones of the background only help to emphasize the truck more - all good stuff. The haloing around the trees does not work for me however

Awesome. You should try to sell something like this to them... maybe your next truck will be free!

Very masculin photo. Great one!

Sweet looking ride. Nicely composed and I like the pp. Good one.

nice dramatic image...lightson make a huge impact...would make a great ad in a magazine
01/24/2010 08:08:03 PM
a little to heavy with the D&B (tree line) or I think that's what it is...glad you like your new toy

You should be able to get anywhere with that. Nice shot.
01/23/2010 07:21:10 PM
this is ever-so-slightly over-processed for my tastes - the truck seems to lift artificially out of its surroundings. if that could be toned down a bit i think this would be a great image.

Striking shot! It really has appeal in a lot of ways. The processing makes this shot. Nicely done.
01/23/2010 01:23:07 AM
Nice HDR.
01/22/2010 10:15:13 PM
The halos give away the darkening of the sky, so processing is a bit heavy handed.
01/22/2010 08:55:06 PM
Good composition but not fond of the halos around everything.
01/22/2010 05:15:24 PM
looks like fun!!
01/22/2010 02:31:30 PM
I love this. Me being a fan of HDR is a big reason but you also did it quite well.
01/22/2010 12:41:15 PM
under the circumstances of the time of day, I think this came out ok. the haloing bothers me though.
01/22/2010 12:07:43 PM
Great textures. I like this a lot.
