    Liking the lines. There is something mouth-like with the opening in the hood. That white mark on the hood is a bit of a detractor for me (the one on the side just seems like a highlight, though).

    Nice eye....

    Good title for this as it is red :D

    The white spots don't distract my eye as I'm so focused on the headlight. Don't see those anymore. I like how your cropped it.

    Nice photo Azzaro thumb.gif

    cool shot Gary!

    just a after thought here :

    next time you wander over the this truck try to frame this simalar but to include the entire cast of the shadow from the fender light assembly onto the hood...

    I like the shot and agree the shot is well cropped. I even like the paint chips. If this had been a picture of a restored truck, the paint chips would bother me. But this is a old truck. Chipped paint is part of the story.

    Very good work, Gary. I like the overall feel to the shot. But then, I'm a sucker for red.

    Take care,

    Hey Azzaro,

    I really like this shot. I'm a sucker for old vehicles though.

    If you are indeed going to shoot this truck again, can you take almost the same shot, but move a little to your right to eliminate the "non-truck" part that's in the upper right corner?

    Given that, I think this shot has great colors, lines & a gesture to years gone by.

    Thanks for posting. thumb.gif
