    Re: Abandoned Town

    Excellent !

    reminded me of the car in the movie Christine

    only critiques are
    the highlight for the light on the left wall
    and there seems to be lens flare on the ski, not sure what it is

    but this does not need to be corrected, it works perfectly as is

    Re: Abandoned Town

    I am curious what this would look like if you positioned the camera about 2 feet lower, to where the light was hiding behind the roof of the car ...as it is, I find my eye constantly drawn toward the lightest area of the image ...the light ...so it takes a little away from the otherwise great shot.

    I like it. I think it would work in color too. Where are you taking these at? Got a Flickr account you geotag to?

    I quite like the flare, but I'm wondering what that light streak thing is in the sky.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Another beauty, I can almost see a Cuban Mary Poppins flying around the rooftops. You really know how to work those light flares. I just wish the dent wasn't as highlit as it is, it seems like the same texture as the chrome on the car. Maybe just a little coloring would help?

    Re: Abandoned Town

    Thanks Armando.

    That's a great point llewpics. I wish I got a bit lower and hid the light behind the car somehow. but I do tend to like flares like this. thanks.

    Greg, most of these type of shots with the old cars and run down buildings are taken in the old parts of havana. no i haven't done any geotagging and haven't logged in to my flikr in decades. thanks man.

    Hey Pete, thanks. and I have no clue what that light in the sky is. probably more lens flair. There is a ton of lens flair in my shots from havana. sometimes it ruins skies for me.

    Arne, haven't noticed that before. thanks for pointing that out.

    thanks all!
