Abandon Boxcar HDR #01.

Rust...my favorite color! This was a fun little photo shoot. Learned a few things on this one!

Still a novice however I have found my niche. Deffanatly more on the artistic end of photography! "COLORS AND TEXTURES"

So please CC!

Very nice texture.
I miss the context, what is it?

Thanks!!
Well the biggest help was adding HDR and Photomatix in the mix with Photoshop. It really gives me a tone more options in achieving that final look! Whatever that may be? It’s always a surprise what can be pulled out of photos like these, that’s the best part!

Next I find it best to have everything in focus! Still struggling with this a bit, not sure if it’s just my lens or am I missing something? Is it as simple as opening the lens up while using the smallest aperture as possible? I think it's the focal point I have to nail down? This was shot at 28mm f/16?

Finally do you think this pic is a bit over saturated? Going for that good color artistic look, but am wondering if I should tone it down a bit?
