I hope this image is ok in Man & Nature. If not, move to where you think is appropriate.
I shot this in a junk yard in central Georgia, within a large pine forest, over the past weekend.
Using a LR5 workflow that I learned on You Tube, followed by some additional processing in CS6.

An interesting piece of memorabilia. Well taken, processed and composed. It would be interesting to know the full story of the junkyard. Was it abandoned?

What a refreshing fall image! It seems very appropriate in Man and Nature, with Nature winning. Well seen and processed.
Thanks for sharing.

That's quite a collection of leaves on the old car and they match colors well with the rust. I think your vignette works well in hiding the background clutter at the top and focusing attention on the pile of leaves and rear of the car.

Very cool. I like processing, too. The vignetting works well. An old Caddie?

Really like how the rust on the car and the leaves and pine needles have the same autumn tones. Great composition and the vignetting works really well. Might try and decrease the brightness of that white vehicle in the background center to minimize any distractions.
