    The truck is definately magazine worthy, but I don't feel your location of the pics are. Maybe if it was flexing on a rock on a mountain top it might make the front cover.

    first one is good but one thing ive learned is not to leave the subject dead center like the second pic. if you angle it just a little it makes alot more interesting pic

    The truck is awesome, and that first location is good. There's just too much information in both photos (water tower, buildings, cemetery, graffiti, concrete structure, etc). Try changing levels, too, and not shooting from standing height. Maybe don't shoot it w/ the horizon level. Also, PS them a little.

    There are a number of photo threads w/ talented artists on this site - check 'em out! Also, this one for amazing car photos... http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/photography/204427-photography-jobs-travel.html

    You're on the right track, though. Just imo.

    Good looking truck but the grass in the first picture is distracting and the second picture has too much going on. Especially with the water tower being off-center.

    You need a plain background to not draw the attention from the subject. The second picture my eyes kept wanting to look at the water tower.
