Post-Processing:
Divide photo. Adjust levels for sky and main subject, also contrast and brightness. Clone our one distraction.
Extra Info:
It used to be that most cars in a wrecker's yard had been in accidents, most of these cars have not. The bodies are in good condition but the working parts have failed. Like a lot of modern appliances, it's less expensive to replace them than to repair them. Along with this, the old fashioned garages are disappearing like hotcakes and mechanics are being replaced by technicians. So this decay spreads in many ways.

Great find. I think there's too much dirt. If you crop this in half, the line of cars on the left and the wheels would have made a nice perspective.

Good subject for this challenge. A bit soft and color flat -- a little contrast and sharpening would help. There are so many interesting composition possibilities here. I think maybe you elected to go too wide and include too much in the image. In this perspective the cars are at the periphery and based on image area and color the orange road dominates.

The wheels add a lot of interest. The sand between the rows is too much of a separator, splitting the focus n two.

I like the line of tyres and wheels. Good scene but I wonder if there was a better composition focusing on the row and just one line of cars?

Interesting take on the theme. I like the composition, particularly the placement of the rims and tires. In my TT's

Not sure whether this is decay or someone's idea of conceptual art, or if there's a difference.
