Mark - what FANTASTIC shots !!!!!!
I love all three, but the last one is my favourite - love the 3d effect.
One day, I'm going to get one of these lenses - they look like way toooo much fun.

I prefer the perspective of 3, but damn... they all look like they're computer-generated!

Great shots there!
#3 is my favourite too - excellent perspective, lighting and cloud formation. Well done.

#2 too - the elevated perspective works so well with this shot and the wide angle gives it character

Thanks for the comments Folks. I'm blowed if I could pick one but I'm leaning towards # 2 myself.
When I spotted this in a paddock this arvo there was no way I could drive past and the gate was open as well!!
PP consisted of 15% saturation, Velvia Vision to warm up the colours and the a little USM.
Here is another from a different perspective.

Mark, great shots
#2 is the best, nice perspective/angle and better saturation than the first
Top shots

Mark,
Love all of them, great works.
Are you going to swap your Pajero for that truck?
Good huh? take it home and
mod it up.

I am sure there is someone out there that could restore the old girl, but I think it's a bit beyond my skill set

Mark all great shots. I love #1 for the composition but #2 for the colour. Great work.

Hey Mate,
Great colours in the ute/ground/sky......
1 and 2 work well.
But my favourite is the 4th image from the rear quarter.
If you ever go back, try shooting at a time when the shadow isn't covering the ute, I think this would take these images up to another level.
Good find and good shots.
Marty

I prefer the reposted pic. The colours in the first 3 are great but just something about them don't grab me as much as the third one.

Terrific shots.
I think 2 is the best here. The colours, the contrast, and the composition do it for me.
Excellent work.

No 3 for me Mark.. I like the perspective out of them all and I find the colour to my liking.
With 1 and 2 I get a sense of the colour being a tad to strong on the rust.

Great series Mark. I particularly like #2 for its saturation and #3 for its perpective. I would suggest however that you move the right foreground cow turd a fraction to the left for effect
cheers

Marco, I considered moving the cow turds but there were little moist patches under them which was a dead givaway

, feel of the image

Hi Mark,
Yet another brilliant series of shots and one of them has to be a contender for POTW. Great to see your 10-20mm Sigma is getting a workout!
Excellent stuff
Cheers
