Pretty neat shot.

Yep, I really like this photograph. The lighting, the composition...to my mind sort of film noirish. I would say this is an exceptional pic, wish it was mine.

I really like the colours and textures in the picture, it starts to set a mood. The only note I have is that I feel there is no strong focal point the draws the eye.

Good use of light and dark background. I like it.

I like how this lightning shows a lot of color and textures. Flashlight or speedlight?

Thanks! It's a speedlight, Yongnuo YN-560 III pointed upwards, with a diffuser, set on the seat.

Need to play more with my speedlights. Thanks for new idea!

Very creative, wish you had used all the window frame to frame the pic.

Thanks, I wish that too. There was another truck right behind me so I don't think I could have gotten the whole window frame, but I maybe should have tried harder.

There's also something lit up a little behind the right hand side window that does not seem to be part of this car. Since everyhing else outside is black it should be easy to remove that, which I would likely do to remove that distraction.

And I have to agree with all the others, you created a really eerie mood with the lighting here!

Thank you, and that's the neighboring truck. My new wacom-type (knockoff) drawing tablet arrived today, should be able to put it to good use, there.
