I was out hiking recently and shooting landscapes and I came across this old truck in the woods. Certainly not what I expected to find while out taking shots of lakes and streams! (5 years and 3433 days ago)

Great shot, but perhaps showing some more of the surrounding would show it's out of place better.
agree with friiskiwi
I agree............ I am also curious as to what filter you used here, the truck itself looks almost HDR!
This was on a rainy foggy day, the rain had let up a bit when I took this,but you can see that the tires are wet. I used a polarizing filter to cut through the fog. The reason for the HDR look is that the truck is predominately red and orange so I played with the luminosity levels of those channels to lighten the truck overall then I added a bit of fill to brighten the darker areas. I also agree with the statements about having more of the surrounding area, I actually contemplated whether or I should put this in because of that. Since this was shot a few weeks ago and not with this contest in mind I cropped it down to take out the fallen tree that you can see the top of in the left side of the frame. But I figured there was enough foliage growing up over and around it that it should be ok.
Author, I rather like the HDR quality of the shot and have to say it's a good entry, although it could be argued about the surroundings, I believe it to be an excellent photo and on topic...well done
it's a great shot, and thanx for the info............good luck.
Nice find - I like the treatment you have given it
Howdie stranger!
