Critique my Photoshopped Photo - Old Truck

[smackitsakic]

This is an old image I snapped a few months ago and discarded the original as being too blah.
I was bored this morning so tried to play around with it in photoshop this morning. I wanted to bring out the colouring/shading and focus more attention to the light of the truck than what the original exposure captured.
Do you like my photoshop upgrades? Too much? Something you'd have done differently?
My photoshop knowledge would be considered beginner. This was just a matter of adjuting the curvers, adding some red/yellow tints, some focused sharpening and a slight lens flare on the light, and giving the sky a darker cast rather than being so overexposed.

And yet, nothing has changed. The stranger hand is still present. Not sure why this was double posted.

Maybe this image was reposted in a new thread because nobody commented on this thread dated 1/30/11?

Maybe?

It make the rust more Come out more, but it should not affect the glass of the light the tire and window. they do not rust, also I dont like the lens flare.
Put the lens flare on a black filled layer, with the blending mode set to screen
