Beautifully done, Marg. The blue of the sky fits in with other blue touches in the image; board across the center of the building, in Jeep headlight, etc. Looks like a prize winner to me. 😊
Thank you for that analysis, Joe! I’m not sure about prize winners but otherwise we think alike!

A nice image!!! Marg
If the sky bothers you just crop it out! and maybe the old wrecker bed on the right.

[quote=John N]I DID see the sky, and I think I would have noticed it even if I had not read the text first. The question for me is whether I'd want to do anything about it.
And I think I would. There's enough foiliage around to do some decent cloning and take the sky right out, but in doing so you'd highlight the trailer and other junk as well. Clone the lot out. Also, it may be down to different atmospherics out there but the truck looks a little on the red side to me. I'm used to seeing more brown in a well rusted vehicle. But that'd be U.K rust.[/quote
Thanks for your suggestions, John. I’m attaching the original for you to compare. It is still quite red but I clearly exaggerated it. The red is really what caught my eye in the first place. Maybe the red original is more like what you see across the pond.

Very nice shot Marg and the sky is fine.
Thanks very much, Bill. I think I’ve decided to leave the blue sky in but to darken it a bit.

Not distracting at all Marg. I like it as is

It is distracting. The eye goes to a light area. Cropping the photo will not hurt the photo and will improve it.
Thank you, Sue. I’ll give that a try.

The very small section of the sky is not a distraction at all.
In fact, it is a very interesting pic as is.
I do Love the patina of the now-retired jeep.
IMHO I would crop much tighter removing the broad expanse of both the plain side of the building (above) and the wrecker to the right.
Maybe my take would just be different and not any better . . .

If it was my image I would crop it without the sky. Another thing I would do is to desaturate the intense red of the truck, easily done with Photoshop or other software using Selective Color and choosing red. A b&w conversion properly done would be nice also.
Just my thoughts.
Just my thoughts.
Thanks for your thoughts, William. Always welcomed! By the way I truly loved your Shark Valley series.

No. The eye goes directly to the old Jeep pickup, so the blue is unobtrusive.
Thank you very much. John! (By the way - the camera club is going great!)

I would crop out the sky and the rear end of the tow truck (?) on the right, but that’s just personal preference.
Thanks, Cdayton! Personal preference is really what it ultimately comes down to isn’t it?!

To me that little bit ov sky is NOT distracting at all. The rusting Jeep truck pulls me right to it, then I see the rest of the scene. I'd leave as is. Good luck, Cheers.
Thank you so much, compilot!
