That photo is awesome. I like how weridly this thing got rusted. Thanks to the not-so-great cheapy coating. :-)

Too bad, I wanted to "enlarge" this photo by clicking it but the link seems to be invalid. :-(

Thanks Shigeki. Yup, no rustproof coating on this truck, but it dates to likely the 1940s, or 50s (or earlier? I know nuttin' about auto history)

I think the enlarge option has been fixed -- I'd hate to have the "enlarge" function fail!!!

Colour, form, volume, line, balance, texture... this one has everything.

Nice image.

My brother pointed out I violated the rule of thirds, which is true (the central image is almost smack dead centre). Interestingly enough the shot as captured in the camera does follow the rule of thirds and it was only when I was cropping the image later that I did the centering -- which I actually like better than the "as shot" which had a longer "tail" of image to the left... Both the original and cropped framing were done without consciously thinking of that rule, for what that's worth.
