    Ohhh... pretty shot. I know you prob couldnt control everything here, but I just wish that the background included vintage-type stores instead of modern-day ones like CVS drug store, etc. Almost everything else back there is OK. (If that CVS was a throwback 50s style rest, that would have been it.)

    I'm not a huge fan of symmetry but in this situation I think it works. I wish the car was perfectly centered in the frame. But you could crop this so that it is. The tele lines at the top don't bother me but they might to some viewers. The time of day you shot it at, hence the lighting, is perfect.

    Overall, a successful photo -GB

    A nice picture and perhaps a good candidate for a selective blur or selective color masking job to remove the distracting background. Just a thought.

    I have to agree about possibly centering the car in the frame, although I normally cant stand that, i this would work well here because of the strong lines. The colors on the car are supurb, and the exposure looks dead on. My 2 suggestions would be, cnetering the car in the frame, as well as doing something about the CVS thing. Thanks

    Nice pic. I would have thought about using flash (I know it was in the day time). that would have brought the colour out inthe front of the car, and switched the emphisis from the background to the car. As an experement, try taking the next one with and without flash, see what happens
