And partly because the treatment of the truck and the Bg elements are process the same. I do realize the effect your going for, but i still think there needs to be a distinct difference between you main subject(truck) and other Bg elements.

Thanks for the critique. While I agree with you on all points, the shot was taken for the shop owner and not the truck owner. With that being said I think it was important to show the shop and the truck. He even wanted to leave the primered truck that belongs to him in the photo. If I were shooting for the truck owner I would have emphisized the truck in the shots. Thanks again for the critique.

I love your work, but I have to agree with photogdude specially on the 1st one the Fan keeps attracting the eyes that direction... I guess cause is red or the little red word on middle...

great work

I have to say you did a great job lighting a black vehicle and keeping it visible and not falling back as part of the background.

But I don't expect anything less from you Dale. :)

I'd like to disagree with Marshal ^. I actually think the fact that main motif and background go together perfectly makes these images "different" but extremely good.

Dale, if you ever decide to make a tutorial or give a workshop I'll be the first one who wants to hear about it. :)
Your work sets the standard in this kind of photography.
