I like the way the treatment matches the vintage. And also the subdued tones.
JPEG halos?

David, thanks.  Yeah, you're right on with what I am trying to achieve.  I could have sent the image through software to probably better achieve the results I wanted.  However, I chose to try to achieve it myself.  Thanks for pointing out the haloes.  I think I eliminated them in my attached second image.

I also like them complementarity of the old truck and the old building!
Well done.

Hi Mark, As Francois mentioned, the complementarity in the hues is delightful, and the composition is quite strong. As I view your photo, I'm somewhat put off by the sharpening: much too strong in my opinion, especially on the edges. This was my first impression when I viewed it yesterday and then again today. Maybe just me, but I think there is some validity in reducing the sharpening and/or clarity by 50% or so.

Sorry Bob_B for not responding to you.  My two-year-old Macbook Pro went dead.  (Don't ask me if I had everything backed up.).  Apple just returned my computer.  I need to get everything set up before responding to you.
