Dumped Truck Image 3

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you. What precisely do you mean by the "illustration effect?"

@Saeed: Thank you.

@Marie Le Corre: Thank you for looking and commenting.

@Sarah, Nothing But: Merci beau coup.

@Ana Lúcia: Thank you.

@Observing: Thanks.

@MadScientist: Well, if you look at the real wheels it looks like there is a broken axle. Since the front is so heavily bondoed I'm guessing that there were other repairs necessary, and maybe the owner didn't feel that the likely remaining utility justified the cost of repairs? It's just a guess though. Maybe I just caught it before anyone got around to having it repaired?

@JoeB: The time of day was working against me but what are ya gonna do?

@Rui Borges: Thank you for looking and commenting.

@AG: Thank you for looking and commenting.

@dj.tigersprout: Well, "technically" no, since it is processed from a single frame, and therefore not an expansion of dynamic range. It was processed using HDR software --Photomatix-- so I suppose it depends on what you consider HDR.

@Vincent: Well, it's up there, but what I was actually keying off of is the red saturation of the ground and grass. I did tone it down a little, but maybe it could come down some more.

@gbe: Thanks.

@danthro: I could have lightened it. Thought about it. I'm not quite satisfied with something about it myself. I'm inclined to think it's partly because what I was shooting for isn't possible in an image captured at 3 PM.

@Ted: Thank you.
