location sucks...pipe,access cover on floor,concrete beams, shadows.low ceiling...oil spots, electrical stuff back wall behind truck

lighting a little harsh on doors....cover your flash heads with white paper

I like the the angle you shot at


So if God made Man & Woman....whats his excuse for Nikon...

That looks like an OK "For Sale" shot, but the wheels look dull & that lighting isn't going to work on a dark colored pickup.

Think about how that will make a difference. ;)

I like the angle of the truck! The crop could have been tighter. The pipe overhead and the cover in front of the tire is distracting. Otherwise I think this was a good shot.
