Nice picture: I would only make the composition different by placing the car not as central as you did. Perhaps more to the right or left and more sand around it:that give more tension.Colours and sharpness are good.

i agree with Albrecht, in addition i would have shot this truck with the camera very low, near the ground to show how the sand is invading the vehicle...
Despite, it 's a great photo, may be you can return and take an other one ?!

Best regard.

Nice shot. I agree with the sentiments about the composition. You could try to crop this one a bit more.

The place looks really desolate, well spotted

I agree with coments above. However placing the vehicle on the right so that it implements the direction to which he car once used to move or is now starving to go...
But composition is really great

Hi Sami,

There's something mysterious and attractive about the desert that has fascinated me for a long time. This picture shows the power of the desert to absorb life, and throw it back into the realm of abandon and eternal forgetfulness. I have to agree with the others; the composition would be more dynamic if the vehicle weren't so central. But great subject, and image.

I always llke photos of old stuff, but agree with others about the centering of the truck, check my workshop view.

i do enjoy! i love old desolate machinery amongst such an ironic background. instead of having the truck dead centre in the photo, which more times than not provides a bland, unattractive to the eye photograph. you should perhaps consider putting the truck to one side of the frame in the corner, which also expands on the idea of man amongst desolation.

great photo and well done,

-Adam
