... cats included. This was not taken in a junkyard. It is parked (or abandoned, I heard for more than 20 years now) in our neighbor's backyard. I can't use a tripod because of the small opening and I had to take different exposures hand-held and aligned it on Photoshop before HDR rendering. I felt like a Peeping Tom when I was taking the shots. Hoping you will like this artwork.

HDR Perfection! I love that little nail or whatever it is poking out of the fence just on the lower right? Adds to the element of automobile voyeurism! I'm wondering why your neighbors have those poor old trucks sitting unloved in the backyard forever? They could fix them up or sell them to someone else to fix up and bring the life back tot hem. The cat looks like he's trying to decide which truck to go curl up in! Great art!

Great find Joe. We had some old cars out in the woods where i used to live. I found when i was a kid and would love to go back and shoot them. Old stuff makes for a great HDR.
