The road is on the left. The truck is parked in the middle of it,
while the guy is buying beer.

I can't remember if I did or not for this particular shot. IS was
turned on, though. I wasn't using a tripod.

I may play with it some more later, don't know. I thought about
adding selective color, maybe to the sign or the little girl. Need to
let it simmer for awhile, though.

If there's to be an intervention, let me know. I'll sit in.

Sure, if I come up with something I like I'll post it here. Don't
want to work on it right now, though. Maybe in a few months or years.

C'mon, Eric. An intervention is something to *stop* someone from doing
something. The photo's fine the way it is. Selective color is evil.

I did a selective color image back in 2009 and I'm still ashamed of
myself:

Selective color is neither fish nor flesh nor good red herring.
