Not sure about this shot. So I need your help. Just to set this up, it is a reflection of classic cars (50's T-bird, 60's Mustang, Woody in the background next to a 40's Ford) in the window of a vacant 50's diner/malt shop. I thought the flooring and ghostly reflection might help create that "Bygone era" feel.

Comments are welcome. Thanks,

CF

how do u feel about a crop at top of umbrellas..maybe take the people out..definately guy in middle..? my handy paper on screen seems to help the colors interact.

I like it CF. This was a good idea and you framed it well. Maybe even a B&W would look good.

Thanks guys, for the comments. I thought about the crop but the shot became so narrow. But, I understand what you are saying. Greg, B/W huh? Hmm, had not even considered that. I will play with it and see how that comes out. Thanks very much both of you.

CF, this is a great concept, but the checkerboard pattern running thru the shot really distracts me.

Hi, John.

Thanks for the comment about the checker board pattern. My thought was that checker board being 50's-ish would add to the classic cars. But, I sure understand what you are saying.

Thanks.
