Wheel Alignment

I spotted this rusting pickup in a field on the outskirts of Muskogee, Oklahoma last year. It was only after I’d stopped to shoot it that I realized I might be able to use the wagon wheel as a framing device.

Thank you, Antonio.
Carla Jensen

Fantastic capture and a great eye…Love the lines from the wagon wheel and the way you used it to frame out the old truck in the back ground ! But the wheel also seems to give it a kinda false sence of depth between the inter part of the wheel and the outer !! Outstanding work wtg!!!
TheBlindHog replied

Thank you, Carla. I hadn’t noticed the depth provided by the angle, but see it now. Thanks for your insight!
Jerri Johnson

I love this composition and how the old rusted pick-up truck can be seen through the old wheel in the foreground.
Vicki Ferrari

It is quite an illlusion, isn’t it, TheBlindHog? It almost seems as if the inner image is actually different from the outside of the wheel…. very clever!!! Very intriguing! You certainly have a good eye for catching unique shots…. Fave!
