Show us an artistic shot of one or more derelict, or abandoned, land vehicles. It could be in the city or the country, but don't just go snap a shot of a parked car. It must obviously be abandoned or not working. Are the wheels off? Is it covered in rust? Is it smashed beyond repair? Any, or all, would be acceptable - as well as anything else that convinces us that its days of being used are over.
jerostone: How about motorbikes, Mark? ( 5 years and 2327 days ago )
Artifakts: It is written "land vehicles" ... IMHO, Motorbikes are on theme. ( 5 years and 2327 days ago )
kyricom: It would be up to the Mod for this contest, but I agree with Artifakts. ( 5 years and 2326 days ago )
friiskiwi: Wikipedia:
A vehicle (from Latin: vehiculum[1]) is a mobile machine that transports passengers or cargo. Most often, vehicles are manufactured, such as bicycles, cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, trains, ships, boats
I'll go with this. ( 5 years and 2326 days ago )
kyricom: Limited to the ones for "land" though, right? ( 5 years and 2326 days ago )
jerostone: Thank you all. Now I got it. I'll upload the picture of derelict... motorboat, tongue in cheek ( 5 years and 2326 days ago )
friiskiwi: Land only, so boats, ships and planes are off. should have modified the wiki ref. ( 5 years and 2326 days ago )

I'm not sure your white balance is correctly adjusted. It's a bit too orange/red (for me).

Thanks for the suggestion Artifakts - I reduced the saturation some and that seems to help. The scene is really orange red in real life at least to me. The car has a red rusty undercoat and the pine needles are mostly an orange color. Between me, the camera and the computer I guess the colors went haywire. This is about as good as I can do for now with it.
I had made a previous comment on this entry but I guess I forgot to hit the "say it" icon. Anyhow, I love this photo, and there is something about the hue that adds to the "dereliction" look of the beetle. Good luck on this one.
This is really good, I like the details displayed throughout your photograph, I wish you had been able to get the rest of the car in the frame. But it is very nice and should do well.
