We get a lot of trashed and abandoned cars over time with our aggressively dangerous roads. I always want to pull the VIN and see what I can find

I'm nowhere near an expert, but this seems like a great example of using light. I still see details in the shadows and in the highlights, and yet there's still enough contrast to make me feel the warm sunlight coming through the cold surroundings. The textures in the snow and trees put me in the environment and make me feel the air and hear the gentle quiet sounds of leaves and breezes and distant animals. I don't know if this really is a great photo or whether I'm just fooled by it, but I particularly love this one.

Great summary, spot on.

I knew someone that years before would dispose of his cars by dragging them back into his woods (to supposedly) decompose by themselves.
Years later he had a change of heart and pulled them back out but was laughing ruefully at himself because the woods had grown considerably. It was a lot harder going the other way.
