Description
Of course the headlight wasn't really on. There's probably not an intact electrical wire in the whole thing! Just a bit of Photoshop legerdemain.

Nice post work. It as if the spirit of the old machine is trying to get out. A wonderful example of rust and decay. And with all of that, the headlight housing looks new.
I like the rust textures & the overall composition, but I'm puzzled by what all those faint white lines all over this photo are?
I used a lens flare in PS to “turn on” the headlight. The white lines are part of that effect.
superb presentation!!
nice rust
That would be really spooky if it were to happen. Clever!
Great job... Framed very well!
I love how this rusty old truck is showing just this little sign of life. You have created the light beautifully Tara, very creative. :)
I dunno, Tara.... Stranger things have happened out there in those old mines and ghost towns..... I can't get Ar to go near an abandoned mine for some odd reason....
Wonderful photo, Tara!
Stunning capture Tara. God bless.
Do you know how shocked I was to find this in the middle of all your wedding shots? I was waiting for you to say, "this is Brittany's new car---they're not doing too well". Fine bold shot of rust and decay, and all the abstract elements it offers. And the added flare in the light provides the right accent. You gotta mess with nature sometimes. The dark on top and in parts of the left and right provide the right blacks to set off this brightly lit metal. That's your rembrandt side. Easefully done, and it's powerful and shimmering.
