Technically it is fine, sharp, good exposure and perspective. The composition is also good, but perhaps the rear of the truck needs a bit more space to the edge of the frame, so maybe a little wider with the lens.  The truck is interesting in itself as a subject, but I would try to aim for seperation of background elements where possible, here the building on the left diverts the viewers attention to some degree. Overall you have done very well and I look foreward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Best Regards

It's kinda cool, but I would ask what you thought of when you saw the truck and what you would like the viewer to think.  As is, it is a little passive if that makes sense. Right now, you have the kind of viewpoint one would expect and that presents the truck in a very common sort of way. Zooming in on the rust and high weeds might give a feel for the decay of technology. Laying on the ground and shooting up at the truck would show its massive size. Maybe the payload has some interesting garbage.

 

Technically, it is okay, though you might want a wider aperture to separate the background.

Please post more.

Hi Derrick,

 

I agree with the above comments.

 

This truck and many more like it are really great subject matter whether it be the size, age or state of disrepair. I have found that focusing on one element of the vehicle, say the grill or mirrors or another part of the truck often is more interesting than seeing the whole thing..of course that depends also on the context of how you want the viewer to see the truck. Point of view and composition are fun things to play around with.

 

Keep shooting and posting :)
