I am new to this site and photography. I was trying to create an old, cold and dark feeling to this photo. The original photo has poor lighting. Any tips are welcome.

well what kind of photo are you going for? automotive? just a dark photo?

Dear
I think you should do it more prominent.

Well both, automotive and dark

well, as far as automotive, some background blur would set the subject quite a bit, the snow on the passenger side that's all shoveled is a little distracting, if the car was pulled just a few feet forward so that it was in between the trees it would set the background apart a little more

for automotive tips, this is one of my favorite auto photographers, Armin Ausejo here is a link to his tips...

Great thank you. Any suggestions on which filter to use? Any basic parameters I should keep in mind?

the b&w is nice... but the truck seems a bit soft... i'd like to see it sharper
