Let's see if I even post this correctly! :huh

Thoughts on the photo?

BassAngler

Here's another choice....

It seems like you did alright posting it because I can see them!

The not so vidid colors matches the 'rusty' feel of the photograph. However, I think this is one of those shots that may look better in b/w. Try it and see how it looks.

Is that a Jeep btw?

Ooh, I agree on the b&w! Let's see how that looks.

And I like the first one best. Seems to have more... personality and flair? Maybe it's the headlights.

Double yes...try the black and white! And I definitely like the first one best. That truck is almost (D)grinnin' at you!!!

That would be the "original" jeep. It's a Willys.

I will definatelt try it in b&w again and post it. I tried and thought you need to see the "rough" color and rust in color for it to make an impact.

Anyway, stand-by for B&W.

Here is the B&W....

I like color of #1 best. Here's a silly suggestion. That vertical weed on the left distracts me a little. Maybe a ever-so-slight crop??

Cool shot of a cool old jeep!

I thought of "cropping" the weed out when I shot it however, I feel it more closely represents the "rough" as the Jeep as been "growing" in the weeds for many many years!

Here is the crop...

I actually like the color ones better. The B&W loses some of the roughness of the 2 conflicting paint colors. There's a way to do B&W conversion that could bring out each of the colors differently, if you were committed to B&W. Here's the link to the tutorial.

Great shots by the way. I really like the first one.

Kind of like this as an example.

yeah you can get away with color accenting it, turning the photo into b/w and then leaving some of the color behind while leaving the rest b/w. im sure the faw jules listed above will have the information how to do it. but if you still cant find it, i can give you a quick walkthrough. its not too hard. but im still into the b/w look and feel to it. leaving some color for the conflicting colors would be a really good idea though.
