My goal here was to focus on the tire coming apart as a euphemism for the condition of the entire truck. I first replaced the background, as the original was a chain-link fence and some industrial buildings. I then applied some adjustments in Topaz Studio re: contrast and color balancing. Then, I applied a texture from Topaz to give it a vintage and maybe timeless feeling.

What a great subject! I like the close-up composition very much.
Some of the sky may be bleeding into the vehicle. I would mask that effect from the fender for sure
Thanks for posting, Tommy!

Thanks for posting, Tommy!I see what you mean - I initially thought that was from the texture. I am going to rework it a bit and take your advice!

Other than the point that Linda mentioned, I think it is well done. The texture is good for the rusty vehicle.

Thanks for the input, everyone! I reworked the issue with the sky and the truck fender and it is a much better finished product. I should have seen that before I posted...

Very creative. Just fix the sky overlapping the truck and it is good to go. BTW I have messed up my skies making the same mistake.So welcome to the club.
