Thanks. I think it does draw the eyes in nicely.

the black edges give it a very cool effect

makes me wonder how long the car has been there...with all the plants growing through the car. I like it.

I would be inclined to b/w convert and lighten the foiliage for a pseudo Infra red effect. Lots of potential here.

I don't think I like the vignetting on this at all. If you were to have vignetting on it, I would make it much less in total, and definitely much less symmetrical and round. I'd just take a soft brush and dab it into the corners... get the same effect without making it look cheap or fake.

I'm new to all this too and I realise it's not the picture itself but I'm distracted by your watermark. I think it needs to be transparent or smaller or both.

I felt like slapping a huge watermark, smack dab in the middle, after reading all the threads about pic snatchers. lol

+1 on the vignetting. Less is more. maybe reducing the saturation might produce some better results as well.

I like the image, but it's nice in BW as suggeted, but a big fan of the vignetting, live and let live

Good picture

I love this one just the way it is.

Just wanted to know what others thought. Everyone has different tastes and opinions. Seems 50/50 here. lol

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

Not a fan of the vignetting and looks like it needs to be cropped

Nice shot. It's amazing how much money people let rust in a lot or field somewhere. Some of these old car parts are worth a mint - original part is worth so much more than a reproduction part. You see all these great images of rusted out abandoned machines and I start to wonder the riches left waist a way.

i like subject. The only thing that bother me is that you look far from the subject and only used the zoom instead of getting closer. Maybe it was not possible, in that case i like the photo lol.
