Took a few shots during a road trip to visit family this weekend.

Nice shots, but those edging treatments are way to distracting.

Looking at the photos again after posting I can see a few things wrong but I didn't expect this would be the only comment.

Is the framing really that distracting?

I really like shot #2. The framing does not bother me, but the bushes in front of the vehicles do a little. If there is some way you can compose the shots in a way to not have the bushes in the foreground, I think it would help.

I really like #2 though. Looks very cool with the mountains in the background.

Never even noticed till it was mentioned.

Nice shots BTW, I really like 2 & 3

The photos are interesting, but there's something missing. I'm thinking that maybe trying to get these at sunrise or sunset might result in more interesting pictures. The red from the rising/setting sun will help bring out the rust, too. I guess the biggest challenge will be getting those long shadows as it appears to be pretty hilly territory.

They might be a tad too oversaturated for the setting. The radiator on the truck(?) in the second shot looks like it has something like plastic stuck on it but other than that I like it.

The bushes don't bother me all that much, but I could do with out them. The frames are frames and don't distract me but I would much rather see a simpler frame.
I think you did a nice job on the shots. I think the 3rd is my favorite.

These vehicles are about 300 miles from where I live. Unfortunately, it's not likely I'll be there again for quite some time (not to mention in the Golden Hours).

The top two were tone-mapped. That might be why they seem over saturated.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions and your compliments!
