Red Truck

A tone mapped RAW in Photomatix.....further PP in Photoshop. Lots going on in the background but what are you going to do?

The truck looks great. Really nice processing Spike.

Nice job Spike, clean and sharp. Love the clouds too.

I think it looks fantastic. My only advice would be to rotate it counter-clockwise to level out the top of the truck bed (and the truck in the background). I looks tilted to me.

Thanks navydoc, Jon and Mike.....
Mike - the bed would not be horizontal as it 3/4 view so it would be affected by perspective. The closest thing to a reference point would be the black chevy to the right which I used in an eyeball test - the bumper.
Regardless, it does "look" turned so I redid, rotated with some tweaks:

Get that truck by itself. The way you processed it is awesome. Great subject matter and I have to gig ya on the comp part just because an awesome truck like that needs to be all alone.

This is the kind of photo that sets an example of what an HDR should look like. Well done!

Thanks both of you for the comment - trust me, if I could get these alone - I would. The worst items are not so much people....it is those bloody fold-up chairs and picnic things that people place right by the car. I once asked politely if I could move a bag full of food next to the car to take a shot - the owner reluctantly moved it himself without a word.

My thoughts exactly! If he could shoot that truck alone (and get the owner to put some Nice original wheels or chrome hub caps and white wall tires, it would be a giant poster worthy shot!
