I love it minus the reflection of you lying down on the ground taking the picture! Perfect shot, love the tilt, and looks great as a high res shot. DOF is perfect, and I love the colors! Almost looks like a stock photo!

thanks for the reply jar e, as far as my reflection in the bumper i agree, i like scooted around a while trying to get myself out of it but then would be out of position to get the shot, do you (or anyone else) have any tips or tricks to avoiding this kind of reflection when taking car pics.
thanks

Photoshop would take care of the reflection. Agree with the comment that this could be a stock photo, great angle and the light is wonderful. I like the front grill on the car and would like to see something that concentrates on this as opposed to the whole vehicle, just my two cents, the image you have is fine as it stands but am sure there are other possibilities with the patterns on offer to deliver something more abstract and thought provoking???

Thanks

Nice shot of the truck really appealing. An alternative if you can reshoot the truck is to camo yourself with a grey sheet or with something that will blend into the tarmac. The red shirt unfortunately pops out at us.

good shot though!

Very nice, but i have to go with the rest about the reflection. You could use a tabletop tripod, and if anything shows, clone it out maybe?

I love it for the accidental portrait angle. I love those kinda shots, but as for the truck shot itself, well the self kinda does ruin that.

I just realized that there are about 4-6 reflections of you in the truck. That is so cool!
