Love the truck...but do you need the tree in there? The hard edges and the exaggerated blur seem unnatural around the tree especially...IMO...it would be nice to see the tree either completely cloned out, or blurred into the background...the subtle form there would be nice, but you don't need to make it stand out. Cheers!

I like the tree! It looks like a befitting companion to the truck. Each has changed in their mutual shadows.

I guess if the tree had as much a personality as the truck does, or maybe if it looked more aged...it would be more interesting. However, after looking longer at this one, I don't mind the tree all that much...the truck still shines in the piece (well, not literally:D ) Since watching "Cars" with my nephew recently, I see the "faces" in old cars more easily...and this one's great.:thumb

Thanks to all for taking a look and commenting. The tree kind of bothers me to.

Looks sweet as can be. :thumb Nice work. I like the tree and barrel though the
trees trunk edges appears a little overly blurry to me. The car in right background is the only potential really lose item if possible. :D Michael
