Been lurking for a while i thought i'd post a few

Like the trucks and the Beetles but the rusty car is a bit dark. One thing you (or anyone else lurking quietly around here!) might like to try in Photoshop is to use the gradient tool to create a bit of drama in the white sky.
1 - Select the gradient tool
2 - Make sure the Linear Gradient and Foreground to Transparent boxes are selected
3 - Select black as the foreground colour
4 - Open a new layer above any others you have open
5 - Decide where you want the gradient to start fading and where you want no fill-in at all
6 - Click where you want to start and drag to where you want to stop, release mouse button
7 - Adjust the opacity of the layer with the gradient in it. I find 6-12% is usually about right for colour but can use more in B&W
8 - If you don't like the position, angle or steepnes of gradient just delete the layer and repeat from step 4
You can combine a number of them at different opacities to get more powerful effects for example here with 2 gradients on the sky and one on the foreground to focus attention on the car:
