I LOVE cars xD I used to help my mom and step-dad (kinda thing lol) work on her BMW 528i and his powder blue '63 Ford Fairlane 500 xDDD His had all original insides, just needed some patchwork around the wheel welds but it pissed me off because in the end he sold it for like $300 My mom had 3 BMW's from around the same age (I forget what year her's was), she bought her project for $50 and started working on it, we painted it from silver to black and replaced A LOT of parts. She also put a dent in it because one of the bolts on the thermostat broke and it was the third bolt to break that day so she threw the wrench at the fender xDD In the end she sold it for $100, a 20 some inch tube tv and a PS2 xDDD

Thank you so much! I've never had a critique this fast! I'm really glad you liked it enough to take the time to write this!
I shot this right at twilight. It's one of my favorite times of the day. And, my truck's black, so I guess it matches with everything I also keep it waxed and shiny.
I do feel that I could have done a better job with cloning out my license plate, so I'll update it a little later
The sky is fuzzy because I was using a low F/. When I turned my F/ up, my camera's autofocus wouldn't work
Thank you so much for the high rating! And, I really must thank you for complimenting my truck. I drive it everywhere and it just means a lot to me
Thank you!

You're very much welcome

"And, my truck's black, so I guess it matches with everything" - Honestly though I don't think it would've looked as well if it were the same angle but say, noon with clear skies?

"The sky is fuzzy because I was using a low F/. When I turned my F/ up, my camera's autofocus wouldn't work " - Ah, makes sense

Well, my baby does look a little different.
He's been lowered, no tailgate, and the owner before me banged him up pretty good, but I'm workin on him little by little.
Great truck!

Good news: you are not a redneck, phew! Everyone knows that rednecks have their back window of their pickup painted...

That's actually a common misconception. Rednecks don't paint their rear windows

My HDR shots always look like crap, I just don't have enough dynamic range in the shots I take and I just don't get why.

Anyway, very nice picture, it's got lots of depth in it
Still, the downscaling looks rather strange, as in not anti-aliased.
