I had to go take a few pics

I have today off work so I took the truck down to the old mining district here and took a couple of pics with it cleaned up and in the sun. I am learning to appreciate all its chips, dents and imperfections and it had aged better than me and is much better looking. This is the in front of the old Verde Mine and not a prison I do live close to Sedona so I need to go get some pics of it with the red rocks glowing in the evening.

Nice ride,it can be challenging to find the best setting for a nice picture,we received snow the other day so I drove to the river for a picture,I wasn't excited with the results,im sure my picture skills suck.

That's a cool pic! I especially like the white face of the GMC grille. I'd like to have one like that.

Nice, that pic takes me back to hunting rabbits on a cold winters day back in the Midwest. That and throwing sand bags or weight in the back of the truck.

Your truck looks great as is. I wouldn't do too much to change its appearance. other than making it as perfect as you can.

I wanted different wheels and larger tires but I am just going to run on these for a while and I kind of like then now. I would like to make it more original with a stock air cleaner and the highlander seat.

The original shot is really quite nicely composed, doesn't need to be "fixed", but it's fun to play with post-processing. This is <2m in Lightroom, but you could do this with any of them. Better still if you can use raw images.
