I spotted this old GMC truck poking out of a barn. The surrounding area is faded to B/W but the multi-colored hues of the truck remain untouched.

Though the old truck has seen many miles, judging from the tires, it is taken out in the fields and woods . The selective color is very effective in this image. Welcome to Caedes - I look forward to seeing more posts. Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.

A good eye for the historic. Not every successful photo is of a "purty" subject; I like to see reality in photography just as much as "calendar perfect" photos. And I agree with Thad concerning the selective color in this photo; it works well. I think, however, a little more of the surroundings would have given even more emphasis to the truck and a larger image than 800x530 would serve better as a monitor background wallpaper, which is the main point of this site. Also, growing up in the 50s and 60s, and diggin' the Beatles as a favorite group since they formed, I really like the concept behind your site name and avatar. Welcome to the site (and pay no attention to some of the angst you might come across here - the vast majority of people you'll meet here are very good and talented folks to know - the two commenting before me, Tom and Thad, are good examples).

The B&W work you did on the barn really brings out what is left of the color on this rare find. It would be better to upload larger sizes. Welcome to Ceades, the best wallpaper site on Earth.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
