Photographer’s Note
I found this old Dodge truck at Hidden Villa Farm, in the hills of Silicon Valley. Hidden Villa is a private non-profit farm and nature preserve, with an organic farm, hostel, and 9 miles of hiking trails. Wonderful place to go and stay if you are backpacking through the area. This preserve has ensured that 100s and 100s of acres of land will be protected for future generatiions thanks to the long-term thinking of one individual and his family.
This old Dodge was painted and used as an old firetruck and was sitting, retired in a barn. I just love the curves on these old vehicles.
I took lots of photos and played with the curves and cropped a lot of pics. I also played with the saturation. This picture has been only cropped out of my Olympus 8080, but no changes to the saturation. Left it pretty natural.

Very engaging photo! There are many attractive elements: color, contrasts (black background/yellow truck, clean/dirty), lines (radiator, hood vents), circles (headlignt), natural items (leaf, twig)and placement of headlight in lower right. The reflection in the headlight is also inetersting, allowing the viewer to see the photographer and setting. Wonderful cropping!
