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.
It's only my opinion but I feel it more realistic.
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.
Thank you.
