    Of the two, I think #1 is the more interesting photo. Would consider cloning out the junk on the ground to the left of the car, just think the composition might be better. But only if this can be done without subsequent detection.

    15524779-Ti.gif Wonder whether cropping this so that only the low white junk behind the grasses/weeds is visible. It might be less conspicuous then.

    Definitely Sleeper. It is much stronger compositionally. I agree about the junk on the right.

    That looks better to me, but I might omit the dark area at the end unless you think that gives some context to what it is or something. See what others think. I'm a bit brain dead just now....

    I think a tighter crop of the car and leave out as much of the rest of it that you can, but leave in some of the verticle brown weeds on the right side. For me that would emphasize the car more. Maybe cut off about 1/3 of the white board on the ground leaving some of the brown verticle weeds. Saturate the reds and rusts just a bit more and desaturate the greens. I think all the greens in the background take away from the beauty of the car, but the foilage in front of the car make the car POP. When you go in closer to the car you can see something like a bullet hole in the drivers side front window there. Just my thoughts... hope it helps.. :)

    ok here it is cropped more and this time I put a tea stain process on it. What do you think?

    I'm gathering to courage to knock on the door and ask the hermits who live here to sell me the car, my husband really likes it- there is also a couple more in better condition but I think this one has character.
    for the rest of the body being rusted so bad, the chrome is still rocking it's shine!

    I like the tea stain look. My monitors are a bit off so the color in the earlier one is probably fine, but this one looks better from where I'm sitting (literally) :D I wouldn't mind seeing more to the right of the car, but this crop more or less eliminates the debris from our attention. Hope this helps!
